You can choose your cdrom as installation media even if you boot from a floopy disk. The CDROM is a PCMCIA CDROM, so may not be supported by FBSD at all. In the handbook it talks about copying Freebsd to a dos partition to install. However it talks about a /bin directory which doesn't seem to exist, either on the CDROM, or the FTP site. Is this a feature that was documented in the handbook that never actually made it? -- Ian Watkinson To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

MSDOS Install
Trying to install 5.0 RC3 Because of the strange way that my sony vaio laptop sees it's CDROM, I can't do a cdrom install, so was looking as the MSDOC partition install. However, the readme, and the handbook both refer to a bin directory which doesn't exist on the CDROM,or the ftp site. ftp.uk.freebsd.org for example. Anyone done this? Which direcotory to copy? -- Ian Watkinson To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
