Dear Chris, Probably your BIOS does not support booting from CD-ROM, you will have to write the floppy disk boot image to a floppy disk using Rawrite for DOS, Rawritewin or dd if you are using a Linux/BSD hosted system and boot your 486dx2 from that floppy disk.
I installed FreeDOS 1.0 full on a Pentium 133 Mhz with Phoenix BIOS. It does not support booting form CD-ROM ether (because the BIOS frimware is too outdated). Even if your BIOS settings menu provides the option to boot from CD-ROM, this does not meant that it will actually work. The boot floppy disk is your friend ;) - Marti [EMAIL PROTECTED] schreef: > What computers does it work on with out locking up? > > 486dx2 80mhz scsi2 and ide 16mb ram 500mb ide partition (80gb eide) > > It lock up when attempted to boot the install cd from external scsi cdrom. > > hris > http://www.aotksc.com/ > --- |_|0|_| Marti van Lin Home Portal http://members.home.nl/ml2mst |_|_|0| Auhor of Free MultiOS |0|0|0| http://www.uitwisselplatform.nl/projects/freemultios ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
