But, in general, burn disc-1.You can install from that including some of the more common ports or use that CD to install over the net. DIsc-1 also has the fixit shell. You need disc-2 only if you want to install ports that are not on disc-1. The boot-only disc will allow you to install only over the net. jerry Regards, Zeeshan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If all you want to do is install the minimal install of FreeBSD, then disc1 will do the job. If you want to install extra stuff (like X, bash, sudo, etc.) you will probably need disc2 as well. Or you can use disc1 to install FreeBSD minimal, then run sysinstall afterwards and get everything else you need directly off the internet. -- Paul Schmehl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Senior Information Security Analyst The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD Installation CD Creation
I'm having a tough time creating the two 6.1-release installation CD's. I was told that it was best to go to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/6.1/ and download the 6.1 RELEASE disc1 and disc2 ISO images in Windows, and use your favorite toaster to rip CDs. (My CD 'toaster' is Nero OEM 6.6.0.13.) Then boot from disc1 to install. When I attempt to do this, it's like the CD is either empty or unreadable. I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong. I've tried this 4 times now and it's a bit frustrating. I have the .ISO files in my recycle bin. Is there a way for me to convert them to CD images from which I can boot my Windows XP system and install FreeBSD in my available 20 GB primary partition?

In Nero, select the 'Copy and Backup' function, and then, in the choices (icons) that this brings up, select 'Burn Image to Disk'. Then, you will have to change 'File Types' to 'Image Files' to browse for the *.iso image, because Nero defaults to 'Nero native' image files. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ . http://robertwittig.net/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FreeBSD Installation CD Creation
If the FreeBSD CD is formated properly you should be able to see the CD's directory structure using windows explorer. If you can not do that, you did not choose the option to burn the CD from an ISO image. Burning from an ISO image is directly writing each track.

Re: FreeBSD 4.9: Installation: CD-ROM problems
I bought longer ATA/133 cables and reconfigured the wiring of my IDE devices. The mid-cable connector supposedly should go to the slave device, according to the labels on the cables. So now the wiring arrangement is consistent with how the devices are jumpered. Still, sysinstall is unable to mount any CDs. I do notice that when the kernal load while booting from the CD, it detects all 5 of my disk devices. Anyone else want to take a stab at this? One user's choice of whether to love or hate FreeBSD hangs in the balance... - Keith - Original Message - From: fbsd_user Good job of doing your homework. Lets continue on with the intent of the FAQ you quoted. Are your HD jumpered as master and slave or are they jumpered as CS for cable select? The 2 nipples on the IDE ribbon have predefined meanings as to which one is the master nipple and which one is the slave nipple. Jumpering your IDE drives to CS uses the predefined meanings of the nipples. I have always jumpered my IDE devices as master or slave and plug them into the correct ribbon nipple.

What solved it for me was re-enabling the serial ports in BIOS, which I had disabled and removed from my 4.7 kernel. I guess that if you have some unneeded hardware which you have disabled in BIOS but which exists in 5.0 GENERIC kernel then enabling it in BIOS may help. -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Why is there so much month left at the end of the money?
