Hi,
I'm having a helluva time trying to install from a SB supported
CD-ROM.
I have the 2.1 CD-ROM, and I've also DLed much of the 2.1.5 bindist.
Admittedly not knowing much about FBSD or Unix in general, I'm being
driven to frustration trying to get an install done. At one point I
had an all right system running off the 2.1.5 floppy install, but
fragged it hoping to re-install from the 2.1 CD (which I hoped would
support a matcd install... it doesn't).
Anyway, now I can't seem to do a freakin thing because I can't seem to
get the 2.1.5 floppy install back in.
Is there any way I can hack a 2.1.5 install so that it will use the
matcd driver and allow me to complete the install from my 2.1
CD-ROM????
Hoping someone can save me another brutal 2 dozen floppy install....
Thanks!
