I have come accross some problems with installing Free BSD can you help. 1: Making the floppies. I could not get these to make properly in a 486 DX" with a CMD technology Quickie IDE card. I kept getting head overun erorrs. Moved to a Trigem 4DX2 no problems. What could have con wrong. 2. I have a Future Domain CDROM TMC-850 (TMC950 Chipset compatible). When I try to install the bindiste ect I get an error saying cd0a not found and when I alt f1 it tell me that mount cd_9660 failed due to a configuration proble. having checked around the FreeBSD FAQ I find others in the same problem. What can I do to fix this. At the moment I copied the CD to Hard disk and installed from there, but I would like to do it from the CD. Thanks in advance.
