Hi!
  I want to install FreeBSD 5.2R within Bochs.
  I inserted FreeBSD bootable CD , and created a new 500Mb image file
for virtual HD via bximage.exe tools.
  When I dedicated bochs boot from cd-rom , it seems un-bootable.
 Alternatively, I copied boot.flp to Bochs folder and booted from
virutal floppy , it's bootable. but when it want to install whole
system, I chose CD-ROM media , sysinstall said " cannot mount
/dev/acd0c , Input/Output error " .

what's happen ?! 
  Do you have any the successful experience or any suggestion ?! 

R.G.

ps. My bochs configuration is as following:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# filename of ROM images
romimage: file=$BXSHARE/BIOS-bochs-latest, address=0xf0000
