dear sir: I have just recently purchased freebsd in hopes of getting familiar with the unix o/s. i have been a windows junkie for as long as I know. the problem that I am having is that the cdrom will not install. here are the steps I did to install. 1. I created a LOgical D:(FAT),LOGICAL e:(FAT), a linux ext2 partition, and a swap partition.I used partition magic 5.0 to do this. 2. after the partitions were made, I rebooted with the cdrom in the drive and nothing. Could you please tell me what I have done wrong. I have tried and successfully installed windows nt. so if you could please give me some further instuctions so I can be on my way to learning this o/s.Please get back to me asap. Is this a compatability problem? thanks P.S. I am attempting to have a dual o/s system. My system specs are as follows: P3-450 MHZ, WIN98, 8.1 gb hd, dvd-rom.My keyboard monitor, printer, and mouse are USB, i have a 56k modem,a scanner. ===== Sincerely, Erric G.
