I'll explain: I'm booting from 2 floppies because I have no choise. The installation = is from the original FreeBSD-CD-ROM's. Everything goes well till I confirm the question "last chance'!...are = you sure...?" Normally FreeBSD makes the partitions and so on. But!: I get the screen "progress" and there is a very short period where my = CD-ROM reads. Next, nothing happens: no progress, no CD-ROM-reading, no hard = disk-reading. With ALT-F2 I switch to the other 'virtual screen' and I see that the = system has stopped after the line " bin /chio" What could be the problem? I remark that : 1. I have an ATAPI Mitsumi FX400-CD-ROM. Has this something to do with = it? (cfr. handbook THE COMPLETE FREEBSD ch.7: problems with an ATAPI = CD-ROM, ask for help) 2. During probing, my CD-ROM is not recognized as a mcd0, but as wd0 = unit 1, next to my hard disk(=3Dwd0 unit 0). Could anybody solve this problem? I hope so.
