You cannot install this release of FreeBSD from a DOS partition, I'm afraid. That will be supported in 2.2, but that's at least 60 days in the future and of little help to you now unless you can download 2.2-BETA (but if you could download it, you probably wouldn't have the CD). > Secondly, I have an IDE 8X CDROM (it came with the Creative Labs Sound > Blaster 32PNP). The book says that I should make a boot floppy using It's also doubtful that this model will work with 2.1.5, but if it does it will using the boot.flp image. The atapi.flp image is gone and only erroneously referenced in 2.1.5 - it has been merged into boot.flp Jordan
