Hey Guys,
I just purchased an external ASUS 52x CDRW drive. I have 10 servers all with Tyan Tomcat i875 motherboards, which has a specific option to boot from a USB-CDROM. I'm able to boot BIOS Flash CDs, Windows XP setup CDs with no problem, but when I try to boot a FreeBSD 4.10 Setup CD, I get the following error:
Boot from CD:
1. FD 2.88MB System Type-(0f)
Not ufs
Not ufs
No /boot loader
>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:fd(0,a)/kernel
boot:
Not ufs
No /kernel
The strange thing is, when I try this external CDRW drive on my personal PC which has an ASUS P4S800D motherboard, it boots up fine. I just don't understand why a CD would boot on one system and not another with the same USB boot feature. Especially since it's able to boot other CDs, just not the FreeBSD 4.10 setup CD.
Any thoughts?
