I burned FreeBSD 4 ISO to a CD, then used it to boot a p133 Compaq. It got through everything fine, fdisk etc, wrote all the file system information successfully, started the emergency shell on tty4, then gave me: "Error mounting /dev/acd0c on /dist: Input/output error(5)" After that, it gave me: "Unable to initialize selected media." Any help/ideas would be appreciated. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
