Hello: I am fairly new to the unix/fbsd world and have been trying for three days now to get FBSD installed. I have the install disks from walnut creek.. To this point I have tried everything in the books and al have failed.. I first tried via the cdrom... this failed because of the cdrom being ide i am assuming.. Do I need to go scsi with the cdrom drive? I then tried xcopy to a dos partition on the d drive and tried to install it to the c drive wd0 which also failed. I have tried the setup program that transfers the files to the drive and tried to install that way.... that too failed. I guess the questions I have are: 1. Do you have any tips for me to enable this to suceed? 2. Is it simply replacing the ide cdrom with a scsi? 3. Have you had as much grief installing fbsd on your machines? Will we alsways have this sort of hassle? my current hardware config is this: Pentium Pro 200Mhz, 2 4Gb ide harddrives, 128Mb RAM, Toshiba 12x ide cdrom Thanks for your help! Humbly Stumped. Adam L. Simpson
