I looked at the SNAP directory ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2-961014-SNAP/ and see over 70 files on /bin, and a few on /floppies, is it one of the latter you are suggesting I try for a test? (boot or boot4?). ________________________________________________________________________ Joseph Cain cain@gfdi.fsu.edu, @leyla.gfdi.fsu.edu, @gly.fsu.edu ,or @scri.fsu.edu (904) 644-4014 (office) FAX (904) 644-8972/0098/4214 (904) 385-0227 (residence) http://geomag.gfdi.fsu.edu/~cain On Fri, 25 Oct 1996, J Wunsch wrote: > As Joseph Cain wrote: > > > I am using the Walnut Creek cd rom to install 2.1.0 freeBSD on a > > 532 Mb partition on my Pentium. > > > My cd is a Sony 2-spd/IDE-ATAPI/256ms/256K > > > Is there a possibility that this cd is not supported and there is no > > way for the system to let me know this? > > The support for ATAPI CD-ROMs in FreeBSD 2.1.0 has been fairly > `green'.
