I did put CROM 1st to be read in bios when booting. and i did try it with the floppy to be read first. same result. I think if linux can be booted with cdrom, why not fbsd? thank you, Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
