Allow me to add some comments: First of all, Dietr, we need forther details on how you're trying to get your passport to Freedom (FReeBSD, hehehe) installed. Are you actually using a CD ? I'll assume that you are. So, let's go: At 01:41 PM 3/27/98 -0500, you wrote: According to what Peter said: >If you have the CD and your drive is >supported (most ATAPI(IDE) and SCSI ones are), then it's really easy to >install from the CD. You need the boot floppy or a computer that can boot >CDs. Newer computrs can boot from CD, but not all CDs are bootable. So that, there are a couple of ways you can boot from floppy (more usual): 1) Using DOS or Win95 (not NT !!!) Format a floppy and include the operating system on it (let me know if you need details on this, ok ?) 2) make sure this new disk will have necessary files to access your CD-ROM drive 3) boot from floppy 4) go to CD 5) run install ! (voila !!!) or, if you prefere, you can create a FreeBSD bootable disk using the programs provided on the CD itself. You will find instructions there on how to do it. Not difficult at all ! What may be happening is a HW problem, but we/re not sure. You need to provide us with more detailed instructions. Did it help ?
