Hi there ! Completely new to FreeBSD, I'm a linux guy (mainly Slackware.... I like= the hard way .. ;) I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.3 from CDROM (burned from ISO). The machine is a dual P-233MMX, 384mb ram, 2 scsi disks (with NT4 on fi= rst disk). The board is an Intel DK440LX, scsi controler embeded (aic-7895) IDE CDROM, Master on 2nd IDE Bus Planning to install FreeBSD on 2nd disk (where linux still is...) I boot from the cdrom, and the only thing it says is 'Read Error'. Noth= ing else. I've been able to boot that CD on many other pcs just fine.... and I've= read the cd with NT... works well... so the CDROM itself doesn't seem t= o be the problem here... Lilo is still installed on mbr... is that a problem ? Any clues ? Thanks a lot !!
