I can boot from the cd if the cd is SuSE but not FreeBSD 3.1 (i.e. it is a relatively new board and the cdrom drive is set bootable). It is jumpered to be secondary master IDE. There are correctly jumpred hard drives on the other three channels. If I install a linux system, and put the FreeBSD cd in after installation, the cd is read perfectly. I still cannot boot to cd if I restart the machine - it gives the error 'boot record not found on device'.. [FreeBSD 3.1] If I make a bootable pair of floppies, and configure the kernel, select cdrom as media, it cannot find the cd still. Linux detects the cd as a CRD-8322B ATAPI CDROM drive. It is about 1 year old. What to do? Why the difference?
