I can do 2 different ways to install FreeBSD on Dell Latitude CSx. One is using bootable CD. And, other is to boot from the floppy. From the floppy boot, you will see the screen that will ask you to switch bays before you proceed. For instance, when I arrive at the screen that asks me to switch. I switched the floppy drive with CD-ROM drive. Then, I proceed by pressing a Enter key. It went just fine as it should be. Good luck. -- jwv On Thu, Oct 05, 2000 at 08:21:54PM +0000, Will Swank wrote: > I'm having some problems installing FreeBSD on my Toshiba Satelitte 225CDS. > It's a 100mhz pentium laptop.
