I am sure that this question has been asked before, but I am new to this, but my son and I are attempting to install FreeBSD 2.2.5 and we have an ATAPI IDE CDROM drive. Greg Lehey's Running FreeBSD 2.1 says to use /cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp to create the boot disk. Unfortunately, we have been unable to find that file on the cdrom. We used dos fdisk (from a dos 7 boot floppy to create a dos partition on the 2.1G hardrive and then copy files into the dos partition. We then attempted to install from the dos partition. The install program installed ok but during the boot from the hard disk it stopped complaining about not being able to mount root system or something. We are lost at this point, not being unix experts. If the answer to the ATAPI IDE CDROM problem is the atapi.flp file, where do I get it? Can I download it from the internet somewhere? What about the mount problem? Tom Field To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message
