To anyone who can help: I am trying to install FreeBSD and not having any luck. Im actually having the same problem trying to install Linux. I have walnut creek distribution of FreeBSD 2.5.1. Following the directions in the pamphlet that came with the cd, I made the bootdisk to install FreeBSD. When the machine rebooted, the floppy drive would endlessly spin, not booting from the boot diskette. I tried making the disks manually using rawrite.exe, and had the same results. I even tried using an older rawrite.exe, but no luck. I tried installing from the CD with no luck as well. have tried all of the above on two totally different computers. Both CD-Roms are ATAPI/IDE, but do not match any kernel descriptions, so I installed with bare.i. (I have an NEC and a Mitsumi CD Rom drive). I have the smae identical problem trying to install Linux. I can install my slackware 3.0.0 distribution just fine, but not the latest (October 1996). Can you please help? I really need this to work. Thanks a bunch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jason Crome Email: crome@execpc.com Consultant, CID NET Software WWW: http://www.execpc.com/~crome ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
