Installing FreeBSD from CD

[Ed Sutherland]

Hi Peter,

I tried boot -v. While most of the debugging info flew by too fast to 
read, I did notice the hard disk and the hard disk partitions were 
probed and recognized. At the end of of the boot process, I did not a 
string of errors. Here they are:

APM Slice 13 (Extra/Apple) on ad0:
GEOM: Configure ad013...
umass0: Phase Error, residue = 0
(probe 0:umass-sim0:0:0): Request Completed with CAM_REQ_ERR
(probe1:...) Retrying command
(probe1:...) error 22
(probe1:...) Unretryable Error)
(probe2...probe7) error 22
(probe0:umass-sim0:0:0): Retries Exhausted

I burned the iso a second time to be sure it wasn't the disc.  Should I 
be entering 'set currdev=cd:,' at the OK prompt -- along with 'boot -s'?

Any help?

Ed
