The ISO-9660 Image that you downloaded is meant to be "burned" to a CD with a CD-R(ecordable) Drive. That CD is then used as Installation media. I did not see a CD-R listed in your hardware list, and you said "it" would not find your CD-ROM, so I am assuming you have not done this. Without more information, or a clearer idea of what your tried, any other advice would be speculative. (i.e. Did you burn the CD an boot to it and sysinstall did find your CD drive?) I have a feeling I may have missed this one entirely. :) cfd --- Dominic Hillenbrand <I-C-H@mail.ru> wrote: > Hi > I downloaded FreeBSD 3.4 iso file > from > ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/FreeBSD/CD-ROM-images/ > but it won't find my cd-rom if i want to install it. > i've been using linux before so i am not totally new > with unix like systems. > > thank you very much for your help! > > cheers > dominic > > System: > (1995 rather old computer ;-) > Pentium 100 MHZ > Asus Board > 48 MB RAM > MATROX PCI GRAPHIC CARD 2 MB > NE 2000 ISA ETHERNET CARD > ADAPTEC PCI 2940 SCSI CONTROLLER > SCSI 2 GB IBM HD > SCSI 699 MB QUANTUM > ATAPI MITSUMI CD-ROM 32x > Floppy > Onboard PCI-IDE CMD 640 Controller > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message > ===== charlesdillon@yahoo.com Charles F.
