I believe the CD should be bootable, but if it does not then resort to floppies. Lookup kernflp and mfsroot.flp in /floppies and use a program under /tools to transfer. If you have unix around then dd if=kern.flp of=/dev/fd0 bs=32k may work for you. > Or, was this ISO image supposed to be expanded before it was burned onto > the disk? No. An iso is an iso is an iso. > Thanks. > ------------ > David Kanter > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message ---------------------------------- Michael Josefsson, MSEE mj@isy.liu.se This message was sent by XFMail running on FreeBSD 3.5-STABLE ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
