You may need a MS/Windows program that can burn ISO files to cdrom. I used Nero from www.nero.com . The downloadable nero demo work just fine to do what you have to do to create your FBSD mini install cdrom. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of hay Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 6:46 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: bootable CD error while installing 5.2.. Hello List, I downloaded 4 cd iso images from freebsd ftp site, bootableonly, disk1, disk2 and miniinstall. I drag bootableonly.iso file to the list and writing bootable cd with easy cd creater, two files are here in the list, bootcat.bin, bootimg.bin. Writing is okay but cd is not booting. No boot emule message is appearing when restarting computer and message stays there until I close the pc.. Winxp bootable cd is working as expected, but my first and second attemp to make a bootable freebsd cd failed. My pc's bios is capable of cd booting. Hard disk is 20GB Maxtor. Where am I doing wrong?
