Re: FreeBSD 5.1 Installation Problem

2003-09-09 Thread Reinhart Steyaert
I read all the documentation. BTW, there isn't that much in the docs to try. 
It's always the same: Cannot find CD/DVD devices...

Other ideas? Could it be an IRQ conflict or whatever in loader.conf?

FreeBSD 5.1 Installation Problem

2003-09-08 Thread Reinhart Steyaert
Hi,

I want to install FreeBSD 5.1 but have the following problem: during the 
installation, you have to choose Installation Media. I choose the first 
option, 'install from a CD/DVD', but get the message Cannot find CD/DVD 
devices... (or something like that). But I can boot from the CD (it's a 
Mitsumi ATAPI CD-ROM, not a DVD). The module cd9660 seems to be loaded. When 
I choose Floppy... in the Installation Media menu, I also get the message 
Cannot find floppy devices... So, FreeBSD recognizes the CD-ROM drive, but 
it seems to forget those devices at a certain point. I was able, years ago, 
to install FreeBSD 3.2.

Wattoodoo?
