I have the Walnut Creek FreeBSD 2.0 CD, but I am having installation problems. Here's my situation: a. When I try to install from the CD-ROM, after booting from the floppy diskettes and partitioning the SCSI hard drive, the installation program cannot read from my SCSI CD-ROM attached to my Adaptec 1542A SCSI controller. b. After copying the contents of the CD-ROM to an MS-DOS hard drive partition, I cannot get the installation program to install from the MS-DOS partition. It says that it cannot mount /dev/sd0e, the name for the MS-DOS partition. Here are my questions: 1. What is the proper way to install from an MS-DOS hard disk partition? 2. How can I make floppies to install the entire thing from floppy disks? 3. How do I fill in the information fields in order to install using FTP from freebsd.cdrom.com? I have a SLIP account with us.net, but it was not clear to me how to fill in the FTP fields. For instance, what is the "IP number" for freebsd.cdrom.com? Do I use my IP address, user name, and host name from US Net, even though I am not connected at that point? Thanks for you help! Stuart Hoffman
