I am trying to install FreeBSD v2.1 from one of those Walnut Creek cdroms. Well, I do a clean bootup (only loading my cdrom driver) and run the inst_ide.bat and it does some stuff for about 5 secs, then a bunch of text scrolls across the screen too fast for me to read, then the screen goes blank, almost like it tried to reboot, but didn't make it. I also tried a boot disk, but I got the same result. I would be eternally greatful if you could help. Thanks!!! -------------- Greg Rapp... gregrapp@worldnet.att.net
