I was able to boot the cd, and install through cd one. There is no framebuffer on the v100 (vt100 serial console interface only) so the install would not proceed past the first disk. I want to use this system as a nameserver and was able to download Bind 9.3.5-P2, compile, and run. My questions are: =20 1) Can I manually complete the install process for items on CDs 2&3? =20 2) In the /var/log/messages I see: =20 Oct 9 19:50:53 steve3 kernel: acd0: CDRW at ata3-slave PIO4 Oct 9 19:50:53 steve3 kernel: acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG MEDIUM ERROR asc=3D0x11 as cq=3D0x00 Oct 9 19:50:53 steve3 kernel: GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider acd0 is iso9660/Fr eeBSD_Install.
