5.3 is a development version. It's known to have bugs. You should be using 5.4 the current stable production version to get support here. It would help your cry for help if you told us about what PC hardware you are using? -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Gerald S Stoller Sent: Monday, June 27, 2005 4:40 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Cc: vze25pmf@verizon.net Subject: Booting FreeBSD 5.3 CDROM 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 ? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
