I have had problem installing FreeBSD 2.2.5 from CD. I boot from a floppy, and after setting up a 1 GB SCSI drive with a FreeBSD bootable partition, I proceed to install from CD. I have a SCSI CDROM drive being accessed through an Adaptec 2540 SCSI controller. The installation begins ok and several of the bin.* files are read from the bin directory on the installation CD. It get about 20% into the installation and halts with an error saying: Failing to find bin/bin.ap on this media. Reinitializing media... After rebooting to Windows 95, I examined the installation CD to see if the bin.ap file was on the CD in the appropriate directory and it is. I tried the installation twice to no avail. I can't understand why it is able to find the initial bin files and not bin.ap, which is located in the same place, unless I have a bad CD. Do you have any suggestions?
