This is my first attempt to install FreeBSD. I've used Debian Linux for a couple months and am no power user. I'm trying to install 3.1 and my cd-rom isn't supported. I've made the kernel and root floppies and attempted several installs. I have two hard drives. One with dos/windows95 and the second with Linux. I'm trying to install on the drive with Linux. I have read most of the documentation I can find and looked at the archives. I copied several of the files from cd-rom to dos as instructed into the FREEBSD directory and tried installing from there and got an error "couldn't extract: bin, doc....." I'm not at all familiar with dos so I tried to install from Linux. I copied the entire disk to /home/kent/FREEBSD. I tried to access the files during the install by putting "/home/kent/FREEBSD" in as a valid path. I had no idea if that would work, just took a shot. I got the same error "couldn't extract...." So is there anyway to install from the Linux side? What can I do to get this done?
