   Hi,

   I am unable to boot from 6.2-RELEASE i386-disc1.iso.  I have
   downloaded it and burned it three times without success.

   I am currently running Win98SE and FreeBSD 5.4 on a dual boot.  I had
   decided to reformat my hard drives so I reinstalled Win98SE and would
   like to install FreeBSD 6.2.  I downloaded the disc 1 iso image and
   burned it to a disc in Win98.  I had to boot from my CDrom to
   reinstall Win98 so I know that my boot priority is correct and that my
   CDrom is working properly.  I looked at the burned cd with the
   6.2-RELEASE i386-disc1.iso file on it in FreeBSD 5.4 and everything
   appears to be there, including a folder called 'boot'.  But I just
   can't seem to boot from it.

   1.  Is there something simple I'm missing?
   2.  Should I just try downloading (it takes four hours) and burning
   more copies again?  (I've already done it three times...)
   3.  Is the fact that I'm burning it in Win98 a problem?
   4.  Is there anything I can do in FreeBSD 5.4 to see if the file is
   corrupted?

   BTW - I installed FreeBSD 5.4 from discs that I purchased through
   FreeBSD Mall.  I thought I would do it from the 6.2-RELEASE
   i386-disc1.iso file on FreeBSD's web site this time.

   Any suggestions, advice, or comments would be greatly appreciated.

   Thanks,
   Larry
