Following the installaltion guide I made the two boot disks, partioned and formated my hard drive OK. Now the problem comes in installing the rest ie BINDIST etc from the CD-ROM. The only thing I can get the system to mount is my 3 1/2 FD, I have tried SCSI CD-ROMS (ADAPTEC 1542, Future Domain 850 etc) with different drives (Pioneer and Toshiba) but I cannot get the system to see the CD-ROM. Its physically impossible to get all the files in BINDIST on a 1.44 FD so I cannot get BSD fully installed. The docs are real skimpy on installing the CD-ROM so I would appreciate some help here.
