I can boot from DOS into the Install-prog at the CD-ROM and I can modify the Kernel-Boot-Options at the begin of installation. Then I can work with the Disk-Editor, choose the packets to install (Novice-Installation)etc... And then comes the Problem: It appears the message : "No CD-ROM devices found". The same happens if I try to install from a DOS partition: the program cannot mount the partition or cannot found the partition where the packets are stored. But till this two points the program runs without any problems. Here is my PC-Configuration: Mainboard: Chaintech 5IFM (Intel HX Chipset) Processor: IBM/Cyrix PR-150+ RAM: 32 MB FPM HDD: 1st: Seagate 1280 MB E-IDE; 2nd: Western Digital 820 MB E-IDE; both at the 1st IDE-Controller SCSI-Controller: NCR 810 PCI CD-ROM: 1st: Toshiba XM-5701B SCSI(ID 5); 2nd: Ricoh 1420C CD-Writer SCSI(ID 3) Graphic: Matrox Mystique 4MB Other devices: Soundblaster 16 PnP, NCR SCSI-Scanner-Interface (ISA), AVM Fritz!-Card (ISDN-Card), Logi-Mouse I hope you can help me to solve this problem so can install and run one of the best 32-bit operating systems. Thank you so much for your help !!! Yours Kai Lohrmann (netbase1@t-online.de) Germany, 26. june 1997 P.S.: I heard there is a file on the CD-ROM that I can burn to an Network-Card-Bootprom so I can boot an X-Terminal from a BSD-Server. Is this correct ? What's the name of the file ?
