Hello,
Greetings,
Iam new to this forum and to the Unix. My interest is to install and
configure freeBSD on my desktop computer.I have downloaded the iso for
i386.
and burn on the CD and DVD.My problem is when I boot from the CD or DVD ,
it didnt send me to the screen for selection options as it is shown on the
web. Instead, it sends me to the A drive prompt(DOS).Is it possible to
install from the DOS?.How then.
I got the same problem,very likely you have burned the iso file on a window
machine.
Likely you have burned the iso file on a windows machine? I use both Roxio
and Nero and have NEVER had any issues. Both will automatically set up
correctly to burn the contents of the ISO just by double-clicking on the
ISO image.
I gave up.
If you have a floppy drive make the boot floppy as explained on the handbook
,and then install
via ftp.
sincerely
Filippo
I am having a little trouble picturing what you got. It doesn't sound like
something I have seen when booting from a CD.
First, is there something in your floppy drive? If so, take it out.
Second, your BIOS boot sequence should be: Floppy, CD, hard disk
If it doesn't happen to have the CD in the BIOS sequence, then
put it there.
When you start to boot from the CD, then just let it continue. It might put
up a boot menu, but you should be able to just wait
and take the default.
Past that, there should be no other prompt or menu after that
besides install selection stuff.

Thank you for your help
