Hi, I have been trying to install Freebsd on a Sun U10. It tries to boot from the CDROM but I get short read the files does not appear to be executable. I have tried with bot 5.3 and 5.4. The boot only iso does boot though. I have tried with disks obtained from a Uk supplier with the same result so I doubt it is the CDs cusing the problem. The system has Solaris 9 installed and this can read the CDs so it looks like the CRROM is OK. I would like to try a floppy drive boot, the handbook gives some info, but refers to Section 1.3 to make the boot disks but this is blank. The release note for 5.4 also refers to floppy booting, but there are no floppy images in the release on the FTP site, or the 5.3 disks. Help! Rob
