I'm hoping this is the right list to post to. I have successfully downloaded and installed iso images for FreeBSD 4.2 through 4.6 using my laptop for downloading and burning and a Tiny Pentium III computer as my server. I have been very impressed with how easy it was to get FreeBSD up and running each time. But my luck just turned... I just downloaded and burned the 4.7-1 iso image and burned it successfully. I checked the file layout and it closely matches the previous CDs I've burned. But, when booting up my server, there is a pause as the system searches for the boot loader on the CD...Not found. It then proceeds to boot from my existing 4.6 setup on the hard disk. I plugged my 4.6 CD back in and it booted off the CD fine. Has something changed in 4.7? I've burned 4 different 4.7 CDs all with the same result. Thanks. Steve Holmlund P.S. The only real difference on my laptop between now and when I burned 4.6 is that I switched to NTFS disk partitions under Windows 2000. But I can't image that how a CD is burned gets affected by NTFS vs. FAT32. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
