Howdy fellow BSD heads, I have a CD ROM device that is not supported. So I'm trying to install from a DOS file system. I have a 1.6G disk and a 2.1G disk. I have two partitions on the 1.6. I am planning to install FreeBSD on 800M of the 2.1G disk. So I did an xcopy from the distribution CD dists dir onto my second partition of the 1.6G disk. I am going through the Novice install. Everything works fine until I get to the installation media. I have tried using wd0s1 from the media choice window. I have tried d:\freebsd\ and d:\freebsd when choosing the DOS installation. All attempts have failed. I get a failure mounting the /dev/wd0s1 from /dos. I think the error code is 22. Help!! I would really like to get BSD installed. I want to have a complete development environment here at home. And all I lack for the main stream OS is a UNIX OS. Please respond to me at pdmcd@magicnet.net Thanks. the dangerous one
