I've never installed an alpha from CD before (I never received a CD as a developer, and I purchased i386 ones, but there were no alpha ones mostly). I looked at the contents of both CDs, and it seemed pretty clear to me that the disk2 was a bootable CD (the 'fixit' disk), so I booted that one. For all I know, disk1 is supposed to work. I just didn't even try it. Try a vnconfig and look at the contents and tell me what *I* have missed? -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
