Hello: I am having difficult installing FreeBSD 2.1.5 on a Gateway 125Mhz pentium. I have also tried the install on a generic 100Mhz pentium with the same error. I have created the boot floppy, boot the pc with this floppy and go through the setup options. When I get to the point where I need to select the install media I choose CD-ROM and am consistently told no CD-ROM drives found. The interesting thing is that during the floppy boot the CD-ROM is detected. I have tried to install FreeBSD on a 200Mhz Pentimu Pro and it works but the Pro is not available for me to use full time. The difference seems to be that on the Pentimu Pro the bios reports the existence of the CD-ROM along with the floppy and hard disk drives. The CD-ROM is not report on by the bios on the 100 & 125 Mhz machines. Any ideas you have would be greatly appreciated.
