I purchased freeBSD 5.1 on cd and am trying to install: created boot floppies, they work fine. however, install instructions say that I should see a Kernal Configuration menu that will allow me to enter details on my cd drive.....however that part of the install process never shows up! then, when the install process wants to read the cd's...it says it cant read from the device... how do I define my cd drive to freeBSD? _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus
