Urgent Installation problems (CD)

[fbsd_user]

The .iso file is an compressed file. If the CD you are trying to
boot from only has a single .iso file then you did not burn the cd
correctly. It should look like an regular data CD with directories,
and sub-directories populated with files. If you can  use FBSD to
mount the CD, and use the cd  [change directory] command to point to
it and then ls command to see the contents, then your boot problem
lies some where else than with the CD disk.

Thank you for your time. I burned the .iso for i386 (release 5.1) on
the CD and configured the BIOS to boot from the CD but it won't boot
from it. I have also tried using the floppy to install it but it
can't detect the .iso in the CD. Are there other files that must be
burned to the CD.

I have burned BeOS PE Max edition to the CD to test if my computer
can boot from the CD. It worked perfectly and booted from it.

God bless,
Alvin
