Attempts to boot 5.0 and 4.7 yield the following message and a hard = hang: Searching for Boot Record from CDROM..OK CD Loader 1.01 Building the boot loader arguments Looking up /BOOT/LOADER... Found Because the e-pc does not come standard with floppy drive, I created a DOS bootable CD (see http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/) with the boot.flp = image as a bootable option.

The e-pc will boot and install Redhat 8.0 and Mandrake 8.2. The FreeBSD = 4.7 and 5.0 CDs will boot and install on a Dell Dimension 4300 machine. The CDs were = created by writing the iso image downloads with ahead Nero. The e-pc Bios has been flashed to the latest version. BIOS settings = appear to meet boot requirements. I would appreciate receiving any advice that enables successful = installation of 5.0 on e-pc.
