Doesn't work here to boot & install from USB cdrom. Use USB FDD to boot and do a net install. Or boot the same and use the USB CDROM as media if you've burnt the images or you don't want a net install (works for stable, haven't tested current yet in this scenario). /Dorin. PS. Hopefully your CD-RW drive is supported and recognized by the installation distribution. --- Martin Nilsson <martin@mullet.se> wrote: > Martin Nilsson wrote: > > > I tried to install our CD/FDD-less servers from a > CD-RW drive connected > > on the USB port, > > I'll try with a fresh 5.2-BETA later today and see > what happens with it. > > in the meantime I just want to ask: > > The 5.2-BETA CDROM hangs, it prints something like > found /BOOT/LOADER > ... and then nothing else happens. > > Does anyone know what might be the problem and where > one should look to > try to fix it? > > The motherboard is a Supermicro P4SGE with an > external 52x Asus CD-RW > unit.
