My (Brand new!) BSD2.1.7 CD ROM does not have the boot image required to install the system from an IDE CD ROM as is mentioned several times in the docs. Using the regular boot image, the system comes up does a few things and then reboots. Over and over and over. Can anyone supply me with the correct boot image so I can install properly? I am using an HP Pavillion 166 Pentium, 16MB, 1.6GB hard drive (IDE) with an 8X CDROM (ATAPI/IDE). If a special boot is no longer needed, can someone please update the documentation. I spent more than 4 hours today trying to install and the only thing I managed to accomplish is wiping out everything on my hard drive. Not a good day! Any advice would be appreciated. Len Morgan
