What are the normal windows? -Glenn I've already tried going to the BIOS settings, but nothing there helped me. What do I do now?

Use Nero or some other ISO burning software to get the actual CD. Once you have the CD as it is meant to be used, this might help: http://www.US-Webmasters.com/FreeBSD/Install/ If you already see the long list, then you have burned the ISO file correctly. You need set the BIOS to boot from the CD. You might have dig around in there or Google for better instructions. Good luck!

Corey Farwell Try hitting F12, F10, or F8 as the computer is booting up (with FreeBSD disk in the CD drive). That will usually give you an option to boot from CD, depending on what kind of computer you have. Or, go into bios and set to boot from CD first.

You can download two floppies (kern.flp mfsroot.flp) from FTP site where you got the ISOs, or get them off the CD if you can mount that. Burn to floppies like this (as root): dd if=kern.flp of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k dd if=mfsroot.flp of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k Boot kern.flop and follow instructions, eventually telling it to get distributions from CD/DVD. You probably ought to first try this to test your burning of the CD a bit (use acd0 or cd0): mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /mnt cd /mnt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Need help installing FreeBSD
You can download the .iso image here: ftp://ftp1.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/4.7/ then burn that image to a CD. It is for the i386 arch.

I am trying to install Free-BSD on a Pentium-II machine with 10 GB hard disk space. I have downloaded the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp and image copied them on to the floppies and booted my system with those floppies. Now when it prompts for the further installation I have selected the ftp passive because i have a firewall to my lab. but it says could not log on to the ftp. My question is If I want to load it from a CD. What should I write on the CD from the ftp site. I am too confused with the directories in the ftp site. Please help me what to download from the ftp site. And are there any bootable images for the complete installation process in the ftp site. Thanks in advance.

Download the ISO image. ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.7 You will need only first ISO image. You will need a cd burning software (Nero is my choice). :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
