Hi folks, I recently purchased the FreeBSD 2.0 Jan'95 CD from Walnut Creek; and I have a couple of odd probs: First, about 60% of the time, during install, I get checksum errors! after a couple of tries, it seems to work; Second, try as I have, I cannot mount any CD in the drive to be used; I've tried 3 score of alternatives: If it helps, I have an AMD 486dx40vlb, 256k cache, 8mb, ATI 1 mb mach32 vlb, with a Future Domain 1680 scsi, wren III 660mb scsi hd, a mitsumi 2xCD, a seagate st-1239a, 200mb ide hd, and a colorado 250mb (floppy) tape, a sound blaster awe32, a LANtastic ae-2 (ne2000) ethernet, and a boca 14,4 fax/modem/voice. The install was multiply attempted on the ide drive, with combinations removing the ethernet card, the network card, etc. The only reported conflict (at boot time) was at i/o 300h with the net card in; there is, however, no other device at that address. I did manage to get it to boot; but I can't access the CD. Any assistance or ideas that you might have will be greatly appreciated. I am going to try a few more variations to see if I can it going. One way or t'other, I'll let you guys know what finally worked! Thanking you in advance, Steve Young thornhill, ontario syoung@idirect.com
