and burned the image to CD. However the CD does not boot. Just
wanted to confirm that it is supposed to be bootable.
Also, is there a DVD version? I don't have many CDs around my house
but plenty of DVDs. :)
Hi Drew, and welcome to FreeBSD.
How did you 'burn' the disc? As an iso image (in Windows) you can open
any burning program and tell it to burn it as is; you don't need to
extract any contents. This is the usual problem if it won't boot.
I used the Windows image burning tool on the one that didn't work.
However I tried on another PC that had Nero Burning ROM. That one
worked. Now I just wish the boot disk had an apparent way to enable ssh
so I could install from another PC while browsing the web.
