So disconnect your keyboard (to prevent graphical mode) and connect to the serial port of your machine.

I had the exact same problem, from my experience, if you boot and install directly from the CD it will work. If you boot and install off the floppies, you get the error you mentined. The only way around this (if your computer wont boot directly off the 5.1 ISO) is to use the 'ftp' installation option, because it doesnt need to mount on /dist. I networked two computers and ftp'd between them, otherwise you could get a net connection and ftp it that way. Out of curiosity, did you create your boot disks from the images on the CD or drectly from the freebsd site (I have only had this problem with the disk images off the cd) - jacob __ JacobRhoden -- http://rhoden.id.au/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Installation freeBSD
Thanks Nathan. I'll try to correct and clarify my previous thread. Following the installation handbook I had to boot from floppies. When I got to the Kernel Configuration Menu I chose the full-screen visual mode (suggested). That screen shows active drivers on top and inactive on the bottom. I deleted the conflicts and was left active drivers on the expanded driver list (figure 2.3 in the handbook). I assume the one pertinent to the CDROM is the ATA/ATAPI compatible disk controller which has a Dev: ata0, IRQ: 14, and Port: 0x1f0. With no conflicts I then quit and saved. The PC performed its device probe and reviewing the buffer I saw the response ata0: ATA identify retries exceeded. Continuing with the sysinstall I am unable to install distributions from CDROM. The response is (paraphrase): CD/DVD device not found. It then asks me to check the configuration. No I'm not 100% sure the CDROM is 100% functional (it hasn't been used recently) although I've never had a problem before. I shall attempt to Could you elaborate on the following: As far as I know you should only need to add the following line to your kernconf for most IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drives: device atapicd How is that done?

Based on your orignal email is sounded as if you had already installed FreeBSD and were now trying to bring up your CD-ROM. It didn't occur to me that you were referencing the kernel config menu of the installer. When I speak of adding device atapicd to your kernel config I am talking of compiling a new kernel after you have already installed the system. At this point it, that wouldn't concern you. Further, the GENERIC kernel that is installed already has support for ATAPI device. At any rate, it seems to me like something might be wrong with either the cable or the device itself. Again, it wouldn't hurt to try another cable, or move the device to it's own IDE channel so that you can eliminate the possibility that there is some problem with master/slave setup that is confusing one or both of the devices.
