A friend of mine downloaded a copy of the FreeBSD 5.1 for Alpha ISO and burned it to CD for me. Now when i try to install it on an Alpha Workstation 200 it gets to a certain point in the boot process and then reboots itself. Could it be that the CD is faulty or could it just be that im doing something incorrectly. At this point i am no longer able to boot from the CDRom. Says failed to open. This occurs no matter which OS CD i try to boot. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Kjell :-)
