One rather common mistake is to put the ISO file on a CD as a file rather than burning the image (which is in fact a binary copy of a CD file system) to the disk. Most, if not all, CD writer programs have a "burn image" option or similar. If you burned the ISO correctly, your Mac should see a number of files and folders on the CD. If all you see is one rather large file, the CD will not be usable. > I switched the boot order to CD - and I still cannot get the Free BSD > Disk to boot... > What do I need to do? What messages, if any, do you get? The help you get here generally improves with the precision in reporting such things as error messages. -- Peter N. M.
