Installing from cdrom not working

[Craig Butler]

Hi Martin

Are you seeing the error on both machines ?  Are you sure the download
and burning was glitch free ?

If both are failing you could try to install using the bootp method,
dependent on what computers you have available to you.

I can confirm that I have install FreeBSD sparc64 from CD onto both a
V100 and V120's.

Regards

Craig
