Hello 2.2.6-Release has problems with ATAPI CD-ROMS (there are messages on topic in the archives) I would sugest : - install a later release if you can (2.2.8 is released) - if you can't : * copy the minimal dists from the CD to a FAT partition on your hard disk (including the kernel sources) * install from the hard disk * fetch updated versions of the atapi.c and atapi.h in the kernel sources * rebuild your kernel (read the handbook if you are not sure of how to do it) => then you can see your CD-ROM with 2.2.6 happy FreeBSD'ing TfH PS : anyway, booting from a CD-ROM is a matter of luck ;-) > Dear Sir: > > I have a Dell Dimension XPS P100.
