Not sure if this the right place to ask. Im farely new Unix and never used BSD before. I ran linux red hat like 2 or 3 years ago. Anyway, Im using the i386 version. Ive have not only burned the CDs, Burt also made NUMEROUS burnings of the floppies. Thing is, My machine dont read the CDs or floppies. Ive changed the bios to read CD or Floppy first, But still remains a mystery why I cant install. Every time I try to boot with floppy in, it just says Hit Any Key To Reboot. Like the floppy isnt even there.BTW this is 5.2 Im refering too. Even tho I heard 4.9 or something is the most stable. Ive been trying to install this for almost 4 days now. And cant find help for it ANYwhere. Any suggestions would be helpfull. Thanks
