Well, the .iso files you get from the FreeBSD distribution are ISO image files that need to be burned directly to a disk. There is no other processing or formatting that may be done. I do not know what you mean by 'unzipped to a cd rom'. I have never done anything that sounded like that. You should just download the .iso file and burn in to a fresh cd and fixate it. Then boot it. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > 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"
