In your doucumaentaion for freebsd realease 2.1.5 you clearly state that you cannot use a standard boot disk if you have an IDE CD-ROM. and you further state that you must use the atapiflp.bat file found in the cdrom\floppies\ directory. But you did not supply me with the file you specifically said I would need. in other words it is not on either of the cdroms nor can it be found anywhere on either your web site or your ftp site. As you might have guessed by now I am having difficultly installing the OS, I have tried copying everyhing over to my other harddrive and installing from there, I have tried copying the files to the Drive where the OS will later be installed and installing from there, I have booted from the boot disk,(that I can't Use) I have booted from dos. all I get is errors trying to write to my disk, or errors trying to read the files or just about anything else. I am aware that this is a touchy OS and understand that I am not familiar with it at all, yet, but I would appreciate it if in the future when you say that I may need to use this or that if you would then either provide it or at the very least let me know where to go to get it. Thanks for listening
