The problem is that when the install box connects to my ftp server I get the error "Couldn't get root image from ftp://" The install machine manages to log in fine, and I have the FreeBSD 2.1 install CD-Rom mounted on the ftp server. Any suggestions to what I've missed? There doesn't seem to be any point at which I'm asked to specify where on the ftp server the installation files are to be found. Thanks. M. -- "Excitement.
