I have the Walnut Creek 3.3 BSD disks ("A full 4.4
Lite Based 32 Bit Operating System"), and can't
succeed in installing. I installed on another
computer a couple of months ago with no problem, but
now on another machine, half-way around the world (in
Ethiopia, I get the message "no CD-Rom installed"
whenever I try to install. I made the two install
floppies, kernel and mfs root; they load fine, I get
through the disk partitioning part of install, then,
when I select installation media, I get the above
error. My machine is a generic Pentium 166mz box,
with a generic ATPI cd-rom drive. At first, it had a
compaq drive, and when that didn't work, I swapped in
a sony drive. But both are generic atpi, as I said.
So the problem doesn't seem specific to the drive.
Any ideas?
