CDROM is a Toshiba CD-ROM XM-1902B. When attempting to boot from the 3.4 CD, the CD spins up, but the hard disk boot manager is loaded instead (either Windows or Lilo depending on which of the two laptops I experimented with). Does the new ISO image fix this problem ? >How-To-Repeat: Insert CDROM into Dell Inspiron 3500 and reboot >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
