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? Karl Nelson Addis Ababa, Ethiopia __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
