I'm trying to install FreeBSD to a machine. I can't find my USB drive right now to report the exact error, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't get the installer to boot from USB on this machine. The motherboard in question is an ECS Geforce6100PM-M2/NVIDIA MCP61.
Current "disc" images are for 900MB CDs, which I haven't seen in a long while. All I have access to currently are regular 700MB CDs. The closest I could find are 11.4 images which are 714MB. The burner software I'm using asks me whether I want to overburn or truncate, I'm not sure if either will work.
bootonly images won't work for me, because I don't have access to an ethernet cable and my wifi card (DWA-525) isn't supported by the ral driver. I have to install src so I can build the kernel with my own patched ral driver so I can then have access to the internet.
Any ideas?
