You should make sure you cleared out any "conflicts" in the part of the installation program that defines irq channels. Either delete the device if its not needed, or change it's irq channel. Keep doing this until your down to 0 conflicts in all areas, then proceed with installation. This may be slightly different for you, since your installing from CD's. I installed from a boot floppy using an INET install. See if this works, if not you could always just disconnect one cd, install FreeBSD, and install the other CD after its all setup. /* * Matt Harris +++ Syko * BPSOFH, BIOFH, C, SQL, PERL +++ http://starix.technonet.net/~syko/ * FreeBSD SysAdmin +++ apocalypse.sykotik.org * IRC TechnoNet +++ irc.technonet.net * IRC Cabalnet +++ dark-temple.cabalnet.org */ On Mon, 29 Jun 1998, Gustavo Lozano Ibarra wrote: > I was trying to install freebsd in a computer with two cdroms without > success... in the first Ide port I have a hard dis (master), in the second > ide port I have a cdr (master) and a cdrom(slave)... but when I try to > install freebsd from the freebsd cd... the installation program freeze in > the probing device section..
