To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: CDROM Installation Problem Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, As the subject says, I can't boot with my CDROM. I have a motherboard that supports it, I have installed Red Hat 5.1 and Slackware 3.5 with CD's by booting and installing. So I know the feature works, but I can't boot and install FBSD 2.2.8. I have AMI BIOS 05/06/1998 is the date on it, so it's fairly recent. Has anyone experienced problems booting FBSD 2.2.8 from CDROM with this BIOS type & date? My motherboard is a TX Pro. (Houston ?) Also, I can't use my floppy to boot. It won't recognize it, but I can mount and umount the floppy drive in RH 5.1. and look at the contents. I've tried setting it up in BIOS, enabled only to boot from floppy, disable swap feature, and enabled seek on boot. Nothing seemed to work. Any help would be appreciated. thank you in advance.
