I had an old version (4.2) of BSD that wouldn't load on a previous machine, but since I updated and couldn't find much support for Debian or Fedora based linux systems that supported my new System thought I would give BSD another shot.
It was great, loaded up and using the Graphics card update from the menu installed the drivers for the graphics card, and now I can use my dual head graphics, having 2 screens.
I then I Visited the website and found that the latest version of BSD is 8.? so thought I should upgrade. I downloaded the image and wrote it to disk. But my DVD wouldn't boot.
Burnt another copy to disk using another ISO burner, but had the same problem. So downloaded yet another ISO Burner (the one that is linked to on the BSD Website) and still my System won't Boot.
The Image I downloaded was "FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-ia64-livefs" as I have a Gigabyte GA-P67-UD3-B3 MotherBoard with a Intel i5 (Sandybridge) processor.
To double check that there was nothing wrong with my Blu Ray I booted with another DVD that I know works, and had not problems.
Can you please advise my best course of action.
Thanking you in advance.
