Hi,

I just bought FreeBsd 2.1.5 software and the book.
As mention in the book that for IDE cdrom drive ATAPI.FLP
boot floppy is needed or INST_IDE.BAT to make the boot floppy for it.
I did not find any of these file in both cds.

I even try installing from the DOS by running the install.bat
file on the cdrom, but when I chose cdrom media to install from it complains
that it can't find the cdrom.

Any solution to my problem will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
