I am installing FreeBSD 5.2.1 on an AMD 64 3000+, w/ 512Meg RAM.
Booting from CDROM with the Boot CD (pulled from the FTP site as an
ISO image, burned in Win XP).
All the necessary hardware is detected without errors, I am able to
get as far as partioning my drives (setup root, swap, /var, /usr) and
choose to install All from the Choose Distribution screen.
The installation starts -- but the Boot CD returns an error Unable to
find a /dist/cdrom.inf file, and indicates that it is unable to
continue with the install.
The Mini-install has the /dist/cdrom.inf file, but shortly after
install starts I receive a Either this is not a Free-BSD disc, there
is a problem with the CDROM driver or something is wrong with the
hardware. Please fix this problem (check the console logs on VTY2)
and try again.
I am unable to access/eject the CD drive once these errors occur
(CDROM drive goes dead). My CDROM is a Creative 52x CD5220 (occording
to the Bios) and is correctly recognized by the installer.
How do I check the console logs on VTY2? (or have I obtained a bad iso
set?)
According to the Handbook, alt-F2.
