Hi all,
I am trying to install the FreeBSD 4.8 Release on a i386 m/c.
I have burnt the iso images onto a CD.
=0D
My problem
The m/c boots uncompressing the kernel and takes me thru the
menu. While choosing the installation Media I get the message
"No CD/DVD devices found"
=0D
while searching on the web I found one mail which mentioned problems
with FreeBSD and ATA, ATAPI.
The workaround provided was where in has to=0D
set hw.ata.ata_dma=3D"1"
set hw.ata.atapi_dma=3D"1"
=0D
but still I could not choose the CD as the installation media?
=0D
Need help in getting around this problem
