I realize this is a common problem from looking through the questions and hacker archives. I read several questions but didn't find any solutions. I'm trying to install freeBSD 3.0 onto my Win98 machine an old Dell LE 486 66 MHz machine with 16 MB and two hard drives. The first is a 325 MB drive with Windows installed. The second is a Quantum 2.1G drive and that is where I'd like to put freeBSD. Problem right now is that when I boot to the MS-DOS prompt to do the install the system doesn't recognize the CD-ROM. I've tried modifying the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat several ways but can't get it to work. The CD-ROM is from Creative Labs. Just to let everyone know my knowledge of any flavor of Unix is small so please keep that in mind when replying. Windows is a only a little better since my background is mostly mainframe. Any help would be appreciated. David Nobles DNobles@dnobles.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
