<p>(30 Oct 2003) It appears that the <tt class="FILENAME">crypto</tt> distribution is
required for correct functioning of the FreeBSD base system. At the very least, the
libraries contained in the <tt class="FILENAME">crypto</tt> distribution are required for

<p>(30 Oct 2003) There are known cases of fairly-recent i386 machines with BIOSes that do
not support booting from emulation mode El Torito CDROMs. This prevents booting from the
FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE CDROMs. As a workaround, download the floppy disk images, use them to
boot the machine into <a

<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">sysinstall</span>(8)</span></a>,
and then do a CDROM install. This problem does not seem to be wide-spread as of this
writing.</p>

<p><b>Note:</b> FreeBSD 5.<var class="REPLACEABLE">X</var> uses non-emulation El Torito
booting on its CDROM releases by default. These, of course, cannot be booted on very old
i386 machines that only support emulation mode.</p>
