most likely you burned the iso image correctly but your cdrom isn't a bootable variety. This is probably because you are trying to install on a older computer or have a non (cheap) cd rom. If that's not the case, there are rare situations with cheaper cd-recorders that cannot record the information correctly. Either case it's not an issue since you can find and make the startup floppies very easily. For me i've never had a problem booting the freebsd cdrom from a clean system. > Hello! > > > The FBSD 4 CD set is available from many FBSD FTP sites.
