Any insight? Thanks and much regard.

You say you download the iso but you don't indicate that your burn the iso to DVD. Sorry, don't mean to cast any doubts on your ability but we get lots of posts from new users who simply copy the iso file to a DVD and then expect it to boot. The iso file must be translated by a program like Nero, or burncd in order to make it bootable. 2. What exactly are the error messages you are seeing on the screen at the time it attempts to boot? _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
