(I have a Adaptec Easy-Creator > > CD burning Program on MS Windows98) Easy CD Creator couldnt make bootable cd by default. You should try to find another programm like Nero for WIN. The great program for creating bootable iso images exists for *nix: MKISOFS. (ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/mkisofs). I propose just to install 4.0 into the free partition from WIN/DOS(read Handbook). Then install mkisofs, install cdrecord, mount DOS slice, copy all 4.0 downloaded files into /usr/4.0 and create and write iso image. Its long way but youll get El-torito bootable CD with FreeBSD 4.0! mkisofs -R -J -T -b /usr/4.0/floppies/boot.flp \ -c /usr/4.0/floppies/boot.catalog -o /usr/4.0-cdrom.iso \ /usr/4.0 cdrecord -dao -v speed=4 dev=x,x,x /usr/4.0-cdrom.iso I made a lot of bootable cd's inside FreebSD. All are OK. > Just burn the image? Consult Easy-Creator's manual. _____________________________________________________ System Administrator, Editors Headquarter of Ukrainian sports Newspaper KOMANDA, Alex Bulygin.
