that sounds like you've done everything right. I think you may have forgoten a step. You have to check the checksum numbers with md5sum and make sure they match. If you don't do this (I know from experence) you can burn a bad iso because of errors in the download. The IS0's are bootable by a normal computer. I'd check the md5 and see if you'd got a good download first. ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Yu <mzyu_tx@yahoo.com> To: <freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Monday, February 25, 2002 1:19 PM Subject: Can't boot from image CD > Hello.
