All, After burning 10 CD-r's using ezcd 4.0, 5.0, 5.01 and using 80min and 74 minute media the issue was resolved by simply downloading the iso image again. Evidently, my original iso file was not the complete image and the file size did not match the file on the FTP site. Just goes to say that when you have an issue start with the basics first. It will save a lot of time. Thanks for everyones help, Curtis --- User Ipt Ian Patrick Thomas <ipthomas_77@yahoo.com> wrote: > If you have a Windows machine you can use RAWRITE > after mounting the > CDROM, or maybe you could download kern.flp and > mfsroot.flp form > freebsd.org and use dd on those files. > > Ian > > > On Sun, Jul 08, 2001 at 12:16:35AM -0400, Joe > Clarke wrote: > > > El Torrito, if memory serves me, is a chain of > Mexican restaurants.
