X-BeenThere: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Production branch of FreeBSD source code List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2003 09:46:34 -0000 Can anyone give me some pointers about how to boot a 4.9 Beta CD on a USB CD/RW? Or, at the very least, tell me that it doesn't work and that I should quit trying. I get the 2.88 MB floppy message and then the boot fails with the messages "Not ufs", "No /boot/loader" and "No /kernel". This same CD boots fine in a standard ATA interface CD/RW. Even more annoyingly, a RedHat 9.0 CD boots fine from my USB CD/RW. Any help or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, -a
