I'm intrigued by Free BSD. I'm not sure... at this point it sounds like a bad CDROM drive or disk. Can you do a net install? I could certainly burn you off a copy and install it that way, if needed. Heck for that matter we could hook it up to my DSL and do it... see if that makes any difference. I personally just have never seen those messages like that before... :) Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
