I still can't get Free BSD to find my CD-ROM at install. I took the CD-ROM drive out and changed the cable from master to slave and changed the jumpers sometimes it would not even boot from the CD . When it did boot it didnt find the CD drive. I then tried to boot from floppy with the CD in it still didnt find the CD drive . I then tried something really different. I made a boot floppy for Open BSD and when it booted it found the CD drive the first time it probed my computer. I guess my computer is set up in a way that FreeBSD can't find my CD drive. I really want to install Free BSD but it it getting fustrating . Will some one please help? > I am trying to install FreeBSD on my computer but it can not find my CD-ROM. > My computer is a HP 4440 with an AMD-K6-2/333 with 64 Mb of RAM. > I partitioned the hard drive with Partition Commander and then tried to > install > FreeBSD 3.2 from the cd.
