Tried both boot and atapi floppies for boot up. Neither C's my CDrom. I'm runng Packard Bell Pentium 75, 12M Ram, 850 IDE HD, Panasonic CDrom. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jeff That's not surprising. Many CDs and configurations don't work. I'm not sure what might be wrong beyond jumpering and stuff. You can copy the relevant files to a DOS directory (C:\freebsd) and install from there. chris -- Chris Larson larson@cs.utk.edu Lab Assistant-Backups Computer Science Dept.
