Dear Sir/Madam
I am trying to install Freebsd on my computer.I have partitioned the hard
disk into two partitions, using FIPS. One of these I did a format /s on, to
be able to boot into DOS. I am unable to load Freebsd from the CDROM since
it is not being detected.(I think the reason could be that it is a 12x ATAPI
IDE CDROM ).I have the dos drivers for the CD, and copied the contents of
the whole CD onto a directory on the DOS partition called Freebsd. I then
tried loading bsd from the DOS partition, but it says :
Write failed ( -1 bytes copied of 1024 )
What do I do??

P.S. : The instruction booklet says that to install from a Dos partition, I
should copy the relevant distributions from <CDROM_DRIVE> :\DISTS. But on my
Walnut Creek CDROM, there is no such directory!!
