Hi all and thanks for the tips! For those who didn't read my first message I repeat it: >> I downloaded ISO images (4.4 Release) from ftp.ru.freebsd.org >> and made corresponding CDs with Easy CD Creator. >> Problems: >> >> 1) The Install Disk (Disk1) is not bootable! What the hell is >> this??? >> >> 2) I booted from Fixit Disk (Disk2) and then inserted Disk1 for >> installation purposes. When the installation started (after >> repartitioning) I saw this: "Cannot parse information file for the >> dict distribution: I/O error. Please verify that your media is >> valid and try again" And then the same messages for some other >> distributions. At last I saw this: "Signal 11 was caught... etc" and >> computer rebooted. What's this? >> >> 3) I've tried to create floppy images but the tools directory >> DOESN'T EXIST ON MY INSTALL DISK!!! LB> All three of these have something to do with the install disk.

I've tried to solve these problems. As for the answers on my questions - it seems to me that several people didn't understand me correctly. Let me explain again: 1) Disk1 (Install) - is the CD disk (not floppy) made from ISO image (4.4-install.iso). And it's not bootable. I can't explain this. Maybe you can? 2) I've tried to install FreeBSD from DOS partition. All was well till "signal 11 was caught... etc". This bullshit happened again. I guess the problem doesn't concern CD itself (I mean CD surface) but it does concern the installer. 3) As for the floppies... hmm... floppy with kernel isn't identified as bootable - strange but real That's all news I have for now. I keep trying. Still unsuccessfully.
