Hi! I'm sorry if my question is too trivial, but since the mail search engine at freebsd.org is down (and I've checked everywhere else) I have no choice but asking here: I've burned the RC1 cd and attempted to boot from it, after loading boot and loader it prints a message stating that it can't detect where it was booted from. From then on it is impossible to do anything involving CD's root from loader, most importantly loading /kernel and starting FreeBSD. The PC I'm using is an IBM PC300 GL, and I had no trouble booting from other bootable CDs. IBM's BIOS does not allow me to change many things, and I've tried changing the CD-ROM position in the IDE bus. Is there anything else that a PC needs to start from the FreeBSD CD? I didn't find any variable in loader that could help but if any of you has an idea it will be welcome.
