Ive downloaded the 2.1.6 tree and
	burned it onto a cd. During install,
	I select "CDROM" install, and finally
	when it attempts to extract the files,
	it tells me that it doesn't appear
	to be a walnut creek cd and it can't
	find the version info. ug, no install.

	my directory tree is 

	/freebsd/bin
	/freebsd/docs etc...

	what am I missing to have the boot
	floppy recognized the cd as the correct
	walnut creek cd? it seems like its looking
	for additional files or a volume stamp
	on the CD (in addition to the distribution
	on the ftp tree)

	any help greatly appreciated.

	-pete
