I get the messages - No/boot/loader >>Free BSD/i386 BOOT Default:0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: No/kernel I tried prompting with 1:wd(2,a)kernel and - Dh and both were rejected. I believe according to the manual on page 100 that my ATAPI CD-ROM drive does not fit the expected specification. It is a CD-224E and is 24 speed but I cannot find any other details about the IDE. Any advice would be extremely appreciated - kind regards Kevin Fitzgerald. _______________________________________ Roderick Boekdrukker meyho information systems ltd The Business Village Broomhill Road London SW18 4JQ email : r.boekdrukker@info-sys.bbk.ac.uk tel.: +44 (0)181 871 5189 +44 (0)802 871 5189 _______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
