The problem may not be BSD. You say you have changed your BIOS to boot the CD, but have you verified that any other bootable CDs work? Like your original windows CD? Also, do you have another machine you could check to verify that the FreeBSD CD is bootable? If not, I would check your ISO burning process to make sure it's working correctly.

Here is my situation: I have downloaded the 4.7-mini iso from one of the ftp sites. I have extracted the file and burnt it onto a cd-rw as a data cd (ISO) using nero. I am trying to install FreeBSD from this disc, but am having difficulty. A little more background on my current system config... I am running win2k pro (NTFS), which is dedicated to one of my hard drives. I have freed up another hard drive (3 GB) to install nix. I changed my BIOS settings to boot from CD, restarted and... the system boots into windows. I feel I'm just overlooking a simple detail, but I'm not familiar enough with FreeBSD yet to understand what I need to do to install. I have read the eratta.txt, readme.txt and the install.txt, but can't seem to find what file is the actual install file, or how I can go about installing from the CD onto my available drive? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
