Do you mean you were able to mount the CD and read the filesystem completely? So, you should be able to mount the ISO image as a vnode disk, right? (Assuming you have that capability compiled into your kernel.) Try reading all of the image you can. If this is true, your ISO image should be okay. Make sure the checksum for your downloaded ISO image is correct. > I tried several cd's all reporting the same error, i have seen people > complete successful burns using the adaptec software without a problem. > Could it possibly be the cdrom drive i'm trying to read it from?

First, share the syslog when you mount the ISO as a vnode disk to prove that the image is okay. Assuming the checksum is correct. Second, share the syslog where you mount the burned CD as an ISO filesystem. Prove the copy of the ISO you burned is good. Third, if each of these are successful, then share more of the syslog from the install itself. -- David S.
