The boot kernel from my 2.1.5 Walnut Creek CD (August 96) does not recognize my CD when it boots. I am trying to install FreeBSD on my d: drive. What available options do I have for installing on this home computer with no network connection. I even tried install the minimum configuration from a DOS partition (c:\freebsd) but that failed after starting with the message "-1 bytes read of 1024". -- David Quattlebaum, (sasdrq@unx.sas.com) "Why if only we were all wiener dogs, our problem would be solved!"
