Full Discussion: Install cd won't work
Operating Systems BSD Install cd won't work Post 302525973 by pludi on Monday 30th of May 2011 12:35:00 AM

Is the computer you're trying to install on set to try booting from CD first? You'll have to get into the BIOS to check that.

Also, "I burned it and it doesn't boot at startup." doesn't really tell us anything helpful. Give us some more information if you want a really helpful answer. Does it even attempt to boot from the CD? Is there an error message, and if so what does it say? Did you change/check any options in the BIOS? Were there any warnings when burning the CD?

SETPNP(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 SETPNP(8)

NAME
setpnp - modify Plug and Play BIOS device resources SYNOPSIS
setpnp [-b] device resource... setpnp [-b] device {on|off} DESCRIPTION
This utility updates the system resource information for Plug and Play BIOS device nodes. A device is specified by its two-digit hex node number. In its first form, a list of resources are given on the command line. Alternatively, a device can either be simply switched ``on'' (reset to its boot configuration) or ``off'' (all resources disabled). There are four types of resources: ``io'', ``mem'', ``irq'', and ``dma''. A resource list consists of one or more space-separated pairs of a resource type with one or more values. Multiple values for one resource type can be separated by commas. Values can also either be uni- tary or dash-separated ranges. For example: setpnp 0d io 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 setpnp 12 io 0x350-0x35f,0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 irq 10 setpnp 0b irq off The order of items of different types is not important, but if more than one item of the same type is present, their relative order is sig- nificant. The Plug and Play BIOS will reject invalid configuration attempts; however, setpnp will not attempt to determine why a configu- ration was rejected. By default, current (dynamic) device configuration information is modified. With the -b option, a device's boot (static) configuration can be updated. Some devices may only be reconfigured for the following boot. Be especially careful when modifying your system's boot config- uration. Improper use of this command may disable vital system devices and render your system unbootable. OPTIONS
-b Boot mode: update the device resource information that will be used at next boot (as opposed to current resource info). FILES /proc/bus/pnp/... The kernel interface for Plug and Play BIOS device services. AUTHORS
