Tharin O.,
Thank GAWD somebody comprehends.
I'll go get your links.
Yes, UR 2d paragraph was the !Ding! And no, the burned cdrom had a "name"
of 'My Disc'.
Don't know how to really answer the question. Nero asks me for a file to
burn. I 'add' the dot-iso file I want. Nero seems to burn it. Plus all the
DRDOS bootable stuff. What can I say.......
Perhaps I need to tell the Nero6oem proggy something else............(?)
I'm off to play some more.
ATM, I have DRDOS FDISK in the extended mode somewhat trashing the local
1GB hard drive.
LOL! Not a huge problem. It never had nothing on it.
Thanks for the good points.
Best,
Duncan

The fact that the hard drive was formatted with Win2K/XP is why you see
the NTLDR message, this is nothing to worry about. The more pressing issue
is why your CD-ROM did not boot. If the cd was burned properly it should
have booted. An ISO is a disc image and would already contain the
necessary boot loader if thats how the cd was meant to be used.
Did you actually create a cd FROM a disc image or did you just place the
iso file onto the cd??? What I mean is if you look at the contents of your
cd drive from windows do you see a bunch of files or just one little
lonely iso file?? The burned cd should have a volume name of "FreeNAS_cd",
a directory called boot and a couple of gnuzipped files in the root path,
17 files in all on the cd.
Just in case... try using Active@ ISO Burner, a small freeware utility, to
burn a new disc. It is designed to just burn iso files. Dummy proof for a
sod like me :)

Have cd burned with a dot-iso for FreeNAS. Yes, know it is FreeBSD based.
OK.
The cd seems to be missing some (?) boot loader. Which one?
Am getting the following msg:
Verifying DMI Pool Data.............
Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM: Failure....
NTLDR is missing
Press CAD to restart
Where do I start? No idea why IT looks for NTLDR. The hard drive has been
erased!
Perhaps I need to format it yet again........from MSDOS.... :)
It is only 1.08GB in size, and, is really old......but still kicking....
I'll be up most of the night with this one.
Best,
Duncan
