Can anyone help? I just saw this the other day with a FreeSBIE CD that I burned. Let me guess, it's older hardware, isn't it? I'll bet that computer won't boot many new CDs (Windows XP, for example) but boots most older ones. I don't know the details of the new CD booting standard, but there obviously is one. I'll bet you can work around it by booting from floppy and then telling the installer to get its files from the CD. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
