I do not have DOS on the system. I have one IDE HD (1.2Gig). The controller is built-in to the motherboard. It is a new motherboard with a Trident chipset and a PnP AMI BIOS. I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.1.5 from the Walnut Creek CD. When the system boots, it says : mcd0: Timeout getting status. I don't know if this has anything to do with my problem. If you need any more info, let me know. Thanks for the help. Jason On Sat, 17 Aug 1996, Randy wrote: > > On 17-Aug-96 Jason Parsons wrote: > >>I am trying to install from a CD drive.
