hello,
i'm having trouble installing freebsd 2.1 off of walnut creek's cdrom.
i'm trying to use an atapi ide cdrom.  i'm trying to install it to my 3rd
ide harddrive.  i ran the inst_ide.bat, booted it, and the install seem
to go fine.  after it asks if im sure about everything, (using novice) it
goes through a few things and freezes on "Loading root image".  i figured
my cdrom was the problem so i booted dos and setup for a dos install.
went through the install again after doing a new boot disk with
install.bat.  it froze at the same place.  i pretty much used the
defaults through the whole install.  let it setup my disk etc.  i ran
''pfdisk'' before hand and the geometry matched.  im not sure what other
info would be helpful.  i have a p90, w/16mb ram, 3 ide hd's.  thx for
any help in advance.
