This question does not actually belong in the FreeBSD questions list, but I am not sure who else would know the answer. I downloaded the iso image of the 4.4 installation CD and am working on turning that in to a bootable CDROM. I am not the one actually doing that because I don't have a system with a CD burner yet. A person in our group has a Windows system with a CD burner and I think we are about 95% there. He extracted the file system from the 4.4-install.iso image and burned it on to a CDR which mounts and looks fine. I can see the html and text files as well as the binary directories, etc. The disk doesn't boot, however, and I am not sure what to tell my coworker to look for when setting up his Easy CD Creater 5.5 program. I know these installation disks contain a boot sector and the process works fine on an older Freebsd disk, but the person who burned that one is no longer working here. Basically, the new disk looks like it should work, but it doesn't boot. I think the Easy CD program has to be told something that it wasn't told, but I am not sure what. Any suggestions are appreciated or any reference to documentation anywhere is also okay. Many thanks.
