Ltd. To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Installing 2.0 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.0 and I'm having a strange problem. When booting from the BOOT disk the initialisation checks the fd0 (1.44M) floppy drive. When this has finished, the drive makes a rather loud clunk and from then on the drive is unuseable until I either warm-boot twice or I cold boot. Any suggestions? I'm going to try different 1.44M drives today. I have a CD-ROM drive attached to a Sound Blaster 16 card, can I access the CD-ROM with this, as I haven't been able to boot yet I'm not sure. If not can I use a 3rd party CD-ROM Interface card or do I need a real SCSI card? Thanks, Simon. -- Simon Harris Telephone: 61-3-419-4200 simon@ase.DIALix.oz.au Facsimile: 61-3-419-5848 Address: Suite 3, 65 Oxford Street COLLINGWOOD, VIC 3066 AUSTRALIA
