(Two floppy disks / CD) > Did you get to the install screen? (sysinstall) I tried to install from a CDROM set (of 2). I never did get to the install screen. I tried simply booting the first CDROM and it gave out those three lines. Similarly when I booted into my current system (4.3), mounted the first CDROM , and then typed "/cdrom/stand/sysinstall". **************************************************** Where did you get your install cd from?? If you burned a downloaded iso file, did you run md5 to verify the checksum so you know its good?
