I've gotten 3 copies of FreeBSD 5.3 (I don't know if they are identical, and I'm not really interested). When booting each of them I get essentially the same messages, which I will list here: Verifying DMI Pool Data ......... Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM: CD Loader 1.2 Building the boot loader arguments Relocating the loader and the BTX I waited over 8 minutes for anything else after this and got nothing. The hard-disk access-light was on all this time. I wanted to create slices and load FreeBSD 5.3 onto the hard disk, which (as I recall) has to be done from the booting of the CD-ROM . Are these CD-ROMs defective? Am I missing something? How do I get to make new slices and load FreeBSD 5.3 ?
