I get as far as it asking for a medium and cannot get it to recognize the cd at this point. What I have tried so far is to use the following files to create a boot disK; ATAPIFLP.BAT and the INST_IDE.BAT, which has the one line: fbsdboot.exe -D kernel.IDE I go through the "novice" install to the point where it wants the media, and it will not recognize my cd. It is a a Sony 2-spd/IDE-ATAPI/256ms/256K one of the other faculty also tried to install but had the same problem. >How-To-Repeat: I tried booting from both twice! >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
