FreeBSD 7.1 RC1 boot only ( i386 ) error

User Confirmation Requested
Unable to transfer the base distribution from acd0

Do you want to try retrieve it again

Yes No



Tested in CD and VirtualBox
 
Which installation method did you select? From CD, FTP...?

afaik, the boot only disc is minimal, and doesnt contain installation data, so choose FTP method or download the normal iso file instead.
 
Install method by CD .
It has just partition my HardDisk then Corrupt .
I only install mini OS + ports ( I done it with fBSD 7.0 )
 
bootonly is just that - it boots.

It doesn't have any installation data/packages on it. You are required to select the FTP method of installation using the bootonly disk.

Try using that method and let us know how that works.
 
HAVE YOU EVER TRY Boot Only CD ???
