The computer has an NEC cd-rom attatched to the secondary ISA bus of the motherboard. The FreeBSD 4.0 floppy installer will not see the cd-rom so I copied the entire FreeBSD 4.0 cd-rom onto a DOS partition under C:\FREEBSD. the installer will install the basic system just fine. However, when I try to add specific packages such as tcsh, lynx, and others sysinstall reports back that it is unable to fetch the selected package. Any ideas?
