Hi all, I'm looking for help in regards to completing a successful clean install of FreeBSD 3.4 from the Walnut Creek CDs. I'm having a little difficulty, which I hope you folks can help me clear up. Here's what happened: 1) On an WinNT box, I created two boot floppies by launching VIEW.EXE and running Makeflp.bat. 2) I used these floppies, along with the CD set, to do the install on another machine. 3) Both floppies work fine. 4) I get to the 'stand/sysinstall Main Menu' screen. 5) I select 'Novice'. 6) I get to the 'FDISK Partitioning Editor'. 7) I select "A" 'Use Entire Disk', then "Q" 'Finish'. 8) I'm taken to 'Install Boot Manager for drive wd0?'. I select 'OK'. 9) I'm taken to 'FreeBSD Disklabel Editor'. I select "A" 'Auto defaults for all!', then "Q" 'Finish'. 10) I'm taken to 'Choose Distributions'. I select "All", then 'OK'. 11) I get the following message: 'Installation completed with some errors'. 12) I used the scroll-lock mode to view the errors. 13) The errors are as follows: ed0 not found at 0x280 fe0 not found at 0x300 psm0 not found atapi0.1: unknown phase atapi0.1: unknown phase atapi0.1: unknown phase atapi0.1: unknown phase atapi0.1: unknown phase wdc1 not found at 0x170 wt0 not found at 0x300 mcd0 not found at 0x300 matcdc0 not found at 0x230 scd0 not found at 0x230 ppc0 not found ie0: unknown board_id:f000 ie0 not found at 0x300 ep0 not found at 0x300 ex0 not found le0 not found at 0x300 lnc0 not found at 0x280 cs0 not found at 0x300 ze0 not found at 0x300 zp0 not found at 0x300 adv0 not found at 0x330 bt0 not found at 0x134 aha0 not found at 0x134 aic0 not found 14) I went back to check 'Table 2-3. Hardware supported by FreeBSD', on page 24 of "The Complete FreeBSD - 3rd Edition" book by: Greg Lehey. And, here is where the confusion insues. Am I to change any settings using 'UserConfig'? I got 13 conflicts in 'UserConfig'. Also, I have a suspicion that the CD-ROM drive is *not* being recognized, because nothing happens after the diskettes have done their thing. The CD-ROM is not on the supported hardware list. It's an "Acer" CD-ROM drive. Yeah, this is a pretty old machine (built about 5 years ago). Do you have any suggestions for me?
