If so, you should have seen the text it spits out which says: Now writing the atapi.flp image onto the floppy. Please wait.. Please also note that this will only configure your IDE CDROM for INSTALLATION purposes. You will still need to configure your kernel to use the CDROM (assuming that it works at all) after the system is installed. You can use the kernel.ATAPI image on the second CD or build your own (see handbook for details on building your own kernel). -- - Jordan Hubbard President, FreeBSD Project
