Aiken" To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Boot from a CD Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Again I ask... I installed FBSD 4.1 only to find out that the boot loader needs a patch to boot correctly. At least that is what I learned from the FBSD errata sheet out on the 'net. Is it possible to boot my newly installed FBSD 4.1 system from my "official" CD's that I purchased from Walnut Creek? If so how. Yes I have a bootable CD drive. When I boot from my CD's FBSD wants to "install". What I need to know is how to skip the install and boot up the FBSD system that I already have installed. Thanks... --- Christopher W.
