FreeBSD
 
I just burned my 3 BSD ISOs but it seems like it doesn't want to boot from the CD. I know the PC can, it has done so for me a bunch of times. Does anyone know what I can do to get the install running?

Freebsd
 
Normaly your freebsd must be bootable the firs and the second.
probably something is wrong with your's copy.Anyway to boot u need two diskettes and write the files kernel.flp and boot.flp on them but only with rawrite or a simillar program.Be carefull the floppies must have not bad sectors.the two files are on the first cd
but i don't remember in wat directory.In the same directory is the
write program .Good luck

I tried to create those boot disk but they are too big for a floppy. :confused:

you need to first imagecopy the "kernel.flp" with the program provided in "/tools".

and then imagcopy that second one called msdos or something i forgot. read the readme in the cdrom.

What tool are you speaking of? The "fdimage.exe"?

therion12 01-26-2002 04:26 PM
