Well, sorry guys but I am back at the same problem. It is not the mouse since I am getting same configuration problem!!!

That way more people will see your problem and there is a better chance that someone will be able to help you. Once you have those two floppies, you can do the install even if your CD doesn't work. Boot kern.flp, switch to mfsroot.flp when it tells you to, and later when it asks you where to install from, you can tell it to use FTP to get the files from a FreeBSD server instead of reading them from the CD. Before CDs became common, that was the common method of installing FreeBSD and it worked quite well. - Bob > Thanks, > George > > -Original Message- > From: Bob Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, March 21, 2004 11:18 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: GP > Subject: Re: no support! > > > On Sunday 21 March 2004 12:00 pm, Chris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> > > wrote: > > On Sunday 21 March 2004 10:53 am, Marc G.

RE: no support!
The CD drives I am using are: "TAISATAP.SYS" model XM-5702B and the other "Mitsumi atapi FX120T", downloaded drive ide158.exe that is called now MTMCDAI.sys I got the FreeBSD 5.1 at CompUSA for $60. First I downloaded the floppy images from your website but there were the wrong version and so I created the correct version off the CD that provided the utilities. The thing is, once I get to the option for installing from what media and select the first one, that is the CD/DVD it cannot recognize the CD. Then I went to the set up at other screen but still cannot mount the CD. Thanks, George -Original Message- From: Marc G.

I interpreted it to mean that his CD and DVD drives were not compatible with FreeBSD. I have some old drives that "are not compatible". One is so old it won't read a CD-R, for instance. Another few cannot boot, but I can install FreeBSD with them if I create boot floppies, as described in the instructions. More detail about his specific problems would certainly help. - Bob ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Let's look at his wording - The last line. Compatible or supported by you (meaning FreeBSD I assume). So - where did he buy this box? Did he order it via The "Mall"? Is it some other vender like cheap CD's or what ever it's called. I find this very hard to believe - so with that, Why not look to your PC's bios and ensure that your CD Reader is set as the 1st boot device. Then we'll work from there. -- Best regards, Chris ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I'd be curious as to what brands of CDrom/DVDs he's running myself ... I've never had a problem loading up on any CDRom I've ever used, and I thought that CDroms were pretty standard, like floppies, nowadays ..

That is because I just found out that the 3 CD-Roms and 2 DVDs I got none is compatible or supported by you. I got Linux going on it but I run into dependencies and that is why I thought you might be the right choice. What should I do?

But also when building your own kernel you have dependencies. So, could you please be more specific so that we can try and help you?
