I am installing the FreeBSD system from a DOS partition with succes. Because I can not to get my cdrom(a PCI ATAPI Mitsumi 2X cdrom) to work, the only way I can install is to copy the cdrom content to a a dos partition under /freebsd. Therefore I xcopied the packages to D:/freebsd/packages/ However, the sysinstall installed the system but rejected the packages. When I select the Packages from the menu, it did respond with 'found index' and gave me a whole list of package selections. After I selected the package I need and return to the upper level menu, then it seemed to try to install but soon after come back with a message "can not find the xxxxx from the media". I tried to copy the actual package from /packages/all to the correspoding directories but still got the same message. Please Help!!! Thank you very much! James Hwang, 73220.604@compuserve.com
