Hello hackers,
I wrote to @questions, but as result, I have advised to address the help to you.
Sorry, if I spend your time
I have notebook IP-120MHz without FDD
He is NOT BOOT from CD.
How can i install FreeBSD on it?

Did you ever get the cd too boot? I'm want to do the same thing with a
kernel that won't fit on a floppy, so this may be my only option. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

You would rather use -b with --no-emul-boot. The --no-emul-boot
flags the boot image as a raw executable rather than a floppy image.
The /boot/cdboot loader is specifically designed for this use.
Alright, I got a boot. It complained about the absence of a loader,
but that's expected from a blank

Someone could tell me how create a bootable FreeBSD CD ?
I cannot use a floppy image because it is too small to put my kernel (1.5

You can mount CD filesystem as 'root filesystem' after booting a kernel.
check -C option of boot(8) (loader(8) has same functionality, boot_cdrom
but it's not described in its manpage). Be aware that this method
doesn't work with recent 5-current although 4-stable works

Hello. I am trying to create a custom bootable FreeBSD CD with a "live"
filesystem. I have read all the mailing-list messages I could find
pertaining to this process, and I am still short of information. I will
sum up the situation, and hope someone can fill in the details I'm
missing.

and what
configuration files do I need to edit? If I cannot mount the cd as /, and
only the MFS can be /, then can I at lease mount it as /usr? I am
assuming I would edit /etc/rc.local on the mfs root.
What I am wanting is a bootable cd that will take the user into an

So, let me get this straight: To make a bootable CD, you need to:
1. compile a kernel (generic will work)
2. gzip the kernel to kernel.gz
3. vnconfig -s labels -c vn0 boot.flp (from /cdrom/floppies/boot.flp)
4. mount /dev/vn0a /mnt
5. cp kernel.gz /mnt/kernel.gz
6. cp /boot/boot0 /mnt

Hi,
Now I am trying to use the boot.flp image that comes with the 4.1-Release
CD.
My alteration on that boot.flp is to replace the kernel.gz with my own (it

Ok, here's what i did ( busy building a custom CD installation )
After the 'make release' , i took the boot.flp image 2.88 Meg and
mounted it. I deleted everything except for /boot/boot0-2 an the
bootforth loader. Then i made my own kernel allowing a MFS of 2048 x 512
blocks, giving me 1.44 Meg in

Until now, I think that the trick was to make the CD look like a floppy and

Why? I think it was designed for SCSI devices, and you don't have one, so
just use burncd.

Hi,
I know I should know better. Please do not flame me. Well,

fine. But (there is always a but)
Does anyone have a 'burn the CD' cookbook? This is

the PC world is an ify proposition, but does anybody have any tips on how
how to burn a more "reliable" bootable cd.
