Problem is: it has no built-in cdrom. It has cdrom on parallel port (freecom). I'm booting kernel/mfsroot floppies which will bring up sysinstall like a charm. Then i don't know how to go further, there's no parallel cdrom device to install from. Searched google, freebsd, linux-on-laptops but could not find anything helpful about installation from parallel cdrom. Anybody got a clue? oli To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
