I downloaded the 4.9-i386-disc1.iso file, verified its md5 fingerprint, burned it to CD, copied the CD back into a file, verified that this file was the same as the 4.9-i386-disc1.iso file, booted the CD, and noticed a little problem. The CD will not boot correctly. Instead it displays: 1. FD 2.88MB System Type-(0f) Then it waits a few seconds and boots the first FreeBSD slice on my first hard disk. After retrying this a few times to make sure it was not a fluke, I made kern/mfsroot floppies from the CD and used them to boot the installation system. Then I was able to do a successful 4.9 installation using the CD. Is it just me? Has anyone else yet burned and booted the 4.9-i386-disc1.iso CD image? Can anyone explain the message about the 2.88 MB floppy disk? Dan Strick strick@covad.net
