Synopsis: installation problem State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: remko State-Changed-When: Wed Mar 7 06:44:24 UTC 2012 State-Changed-Why: Dear Siddhartha,
First of all thank you for the willingness to try FreeBSD. Sadly I have to inform you that you selected the wrong way of getting help, the system you are currently using is for Problems only, and you require additional help. You can find this help however on the questi...@freebsd.org mailinglist and/or on http://forums.freebsd.org. I am sure more people installed FreeBSD next to a Windows partition, though be reminded that you cannot start the installation itself if you are booted within Windows. Either you have to boot it from DVD or get it going with a Virtualization product like VMware. If you for example download the DVD ISO (as you seem to have done) you should burn that to a DVD with a burner application (Nero and the like) which should make it possible to boot from the DVD. You might need to tell your BIOS/system that it should use the DVD first instead of harddisk or anything. Since this varies between systems it's hart to tell what the correct procedure is. I hope you will join us on the questions mailinglist and/or forums and that you will find everything you need within FreeBSD, welcome to the community! http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=165744 _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
