Before you do as BSD baby suggests and regrade to 4.8, you should look = at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/install.html#NO-INST= ALL-CDROM Perhaps 5.0 reports that problem differently and it could lead to trouble when you install 4.8. >2) When I boot from the floppies I can make my slices and labels just = fine but >when the actual file system install begins it tells me that there was an= error >with my CD-ROM.
