Live cdrom: Howto? Date: 28 Feb 1996 16:25:28 GMT Organization: Concentric Internet Services Lines: 17 Message-ID: <4h1vlo$ahh@spectator.cris.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: voyager-fddi.cris.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I just purchased the Walnut Creek pair of cdroms which contain version 2.1 of FreeBSD. One of them is a live filesystem, but there seems to be no documentation on how to actually use that particular cd. I've been successful in getting the installation cd recognized (Soundblaster 16) by means of the ata boot floppy. Can anyone point me at the appropriate documentation or else give a brief summary of what to do? I've tried the dos utility "fbsdboot.exe", and it *almost* works. The boot hangs at the point where the cdrom is about to be mounted as root (-C option). Thanks. -- Rick -- I am Pentium of Borg. Division is futile. You will be approximated.
