Unfortunatly, Wallnut creek have not put the cd together in a way that lets the boot.flp find a clean path to the install directories. Has anyone found a way arond this? Install directly from the CD works fine. So does install from ftp.freebsd.org if I use the boot.flp from that site, from the 2.2 directory. The boot.flp comes with the CD doesn't want to know! I'd like to be able to mount the CD in the ftp dir, and have students install from there. Worked fine with 2.0. bc -- The China House Sheng Huo Jiu Shi Dou Zheng robert@chalmers.com.au for Whirled Peas http://chalmers.com.au Location: Web Works Whitsunday. 21'7" S, 149'14" E.
