When I boot from floppies and use the 4.7 CD for sysgen I get a similar message. I can not boot from my CD either. There have been several posts from others with similar difficulties with 4.7 lately. I have been downloading and burning CDs since r4.1 with no difficulties. The only way I can get 4.7 is to start with my 4.6.2 CD and then cvsup up to 4.7 ....... > > Should I replace my disk drive with a frog? Probably won't help. In my case I suspect that my CD burner or the media I am using must be the culprits. I have downloaded the 4.7 ISOs from three different mirrors, burned 4 CDs using two different burning programs. No luck. Regards from Kjell/LA3SG To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
