Hi!
I got an old PC - Compaq Deskpro 4000 - 166mhz/64ram/etc.
And i tried to install FreeBSD 5.2 on it, but i failed. Everything goes ok -=
 system boots normaly (from CD), freebsd installer starts, and when i choose=
 to install it says - "no disks found". and this message also appears when i=
 want to change source media ("no cdrom/dvdrom found") or load install=
 configuration ("no floppies found").
I tried to google my problem, but there were no good results.
Linux is installing and working perfectly on this computer, but freebsd=
 fails to install.

maybe you could help?

but dont suggest to go into the bios - i can`t get into it :)))


thanks.
