Bug 13944

Yes I too have this problem.  I installed linux redhat 5.1, 5.2,
and
6.0.  All of which
I installed by booting from a cd-rom.  I have an AOPEN IDE
CD-ROM.  I
believe one
would call this an ATAPI cd-rom I think.  Anyways would like to
trial
free-bsd, so I
downloaded the iso image at work, burnt it too a cd, and it
booted the
work pc fine.  So
I got it home, inserted it, it would not boot from cd-rom.  So I
said
'oh well' and made
a floppy boot disk.  It detects says something like

BIOS Disk0 - disk A
BIOS Disk1 - disk C

ALAS no cd rom drive is detected :(

I hope this problem can be fixed.  As I have not had previous
free-bsd
experience I do not know
if it will boot from an older boot disk.  Can I use an older boot
disk
and still install bsd 3.3?  I dont
think this is possible.  If anyone can help in anyway I, and
whoever
else has this delemma would be
grateful?

How-To-Repeat: Boot with installation disk, no cd-rom detected. Boot with
free-bsd bootable cd-rom , does not boot, boot failure. Works with
redhat bootable cd-rom, and microcrap bootable cd-rom.
