Greetings:
I have just purchased the Walnut Creek FreeBSD CD-ROM and a PC. The PC has
an internal IDE CD_ROM player, from Panasonic, and I can't get it to read
the disk, although there is no problem with Windows. I assume that this is
because the CD-ROM player is unsupported by a FreeBSD driver. But when I
try to install from the DOS partition I keep getting hung up at the "label
editor." My hard disk is wd0. I have a small DOS/Windows partition and then
an extended partition. The remaining space on the hard drive is labeled
"wd0s3." But I keep getting the following message:
No root device found - you must label a partition as / in the label editor.
I have tried many different combinations trying to follow the guide in the
help info, but none are accepted. What should my partition be labeled as?
Christopher J. Booth This speech of yours hath moved me,
cbooth@mordor.com And shall perchance do good: but speak you on;
You look as you had something more to say.
