Hi, I'd just like to let you know that 2.2.7-RELEASE is the only version I can get to successfully install from a DOS partition. I've been downloading various versions of FreeBSD since 2.2.5 and *none* of them have successfully installed (except 2.2.7). The latest version I've tried is 3.1-RELEASE, which also didn't work (and also screwed up the existing kernel/boot sector of my 2.2.7 installation, so I can't boot up)... so my main question is has there been any changes to the code between 2.2.5 and 2.2.7, and 2.2.7 to 3.1 that specifically deals with the reading installation media section. Just to clarify on "won't recognise it": basically after selecting commit, I get the error message "couldn't find the following distributions on the installation media: <whatever dist.'s I selected, ie; /bin /dict etc>". Thanks in advance. Regards, Trent. -- Breaker : Trent Nelson : breaker@dal.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
