I can't for the life of me get it to work. The closest I come is when I get the following message: "The CD in your drive looks more like an audio cd than a freebsd release" Can you help? If not, I am also trying to install via a second IDE hard drive. I am using Seagate's latest dynamic disk driver on a Seagate 2.1GB drive as the primary disk (C:\). On this drive I have the directory freebsd, which contains all the CDROM's. Drive D:\ is a 540MB drive which I intent to install freeBSD. What is the best way to accomplish the install??? If I make D:\ bootable, can I later make it wd0??? Regards, Bob- bburgert@bee.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
