FreeBSD ISO Images
I must have missed this. Or simply dump. period. It looks like there is no more ISO image to burn to a CD since 4.6.2?? Why are there 2 disk images? I burnt a 4.7-disc1.iso and it fails to boot - no kernel... -r--r--r-- 1 3usit 582746112 Nov 17 00:23 5.0-DP2-disc1.iso -r--r--r-- 1 3usit 312606720 Nov 17 00:21 5.0-DP2-disc2.iso -r--r--r-- 1 3usit 118 Nov 17 00:35 CHECKSUM.MD5 -r--r--r-- 1 3usit 27192 Apr 7 2002 5.0-DP1-disc2.iso -r--r--r-- 1 3usit 675971072 Apr 7 2002 5.0-DP1-install.iso -r--r--r-- 1 3usit 180 Aug 15 03:55 CHECKSUM.MD5 -r--r--r-- 1 3usit 657457152 Aug 15 16:32 4.6.2-disc1.iso -r--r--r-- 1 3usit 234094592 Aug 15 03:24 4.6.2-disc2.iso -r--r--r-- 1 3usit 114 Aug 15 17:57 CHECKSUM.MD5 -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington [EMAIL PROTECTED] The box said 'Requires Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com Windows 95, NT, or better,' Tel: +254 2 313985-9 +254 2 313922 so I installed FreeBSD.

Sure there is. Which server were you looking at, and which directory? Why are there 2 disk images? I burnt a 4.7-disc1.iso and it fails to boot - no kernel... The image you burnt must be bad. And you only need the first CD; the rest of the CDs contain extra packages, but you can install FreeBSD 4.7 from just the first CD. -- Anand Buddhdev http://anand.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Turns out that the image is good but I am as stupid as the IBM Aptiva that was giving the no kernel message, in that I did not test the image on a different machine. I am amazed no flames came my way ;) Anyone knows some howto about the IBM Aptiva refusing to boot of the CD?? -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington [EMAIL PROTECTED] The box said 'Requires Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com Windows 95, NT, or better,' Tel: +254 2 313985-9 +254 2 313922 so I installed FreeBSD.

I am amazed no flames came my way ;) Anyone knows some howto about the IBM Aptiva refusing to boot of the CD?? It is a problem with the FreeBSD BTX Loader, imho. With the old one loading scheme, a lot BIOSes getting in trouble and will yhow you the message you have seen. I had that problem with an Acer Travelmate 512T. The only way to install FreeBSD on this Laptop was via Floppy (you can find them on the FTP Server). With FreeBSD-Current snapshot and FreeBSD-DP2 you can also boot from the CD, the loader changed. Try them out, or use the two installation floppies if you want ro run FreeBSD DP2. hth asg To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
