I have an i486 DX4 100MHz Mitsumi CDrom 2 SCSI hard drives (I installed BSD onto D: which is a Maxtor) First, after I installed and rebooted, I did not see any kind of boot manager asking me if I wanted DOS or BSD. I selected the boot manager option during the install, my disk geometry is correct, though I did not put a small DOS partition on D:. This is not my major problem, this next one is what has been frustrating. I booted from floppy, becuase of my first problem, at the boot: prompt I typed "sd(1,a)/kernel" to boot from my installed BSD on D:. That worked fine excpet when it gets to the mcd0 probe, it checks out ok but when it tryies to mount I get the error: cd9660 :/dev/mcd0a Device not configured Filesystem mount failed, startup aborted. And into single user mode I can go... I tried skipping the probe of mcd0, so it skips it, but it still tries to mount mcd0a. What can I do Help David
