Cd-rom drivers missing on motherboard

[Plankt]

Hey.

I've built my comp for the first time but when I start it with a bootable cd I get an error..

Starting PC DOS...
(some information here that's not important)
Device driver not found: ´MSC001`.
No valid CDROM device drivers selected`

I've checked in the bios and the motherboard can "see" the cdrom and that it's installed correctly.

I've read somewhere that I need to check two files called
autoexec.bat
config.sys
And I've tried editing them with the "edit" command but it only say that it doesn't know the edit command.

The motherboard:
Asus P5LD2-X/1333 i945GC 2DDR2-DIMM 3PCI 3PCIe SATA Audio LAN Socket775 ATX

The CDROM:
Samsung SH-D163B/BEBP 16X DVD-ROM/48X CD-ROM BLACK bulk SATA

I'm new at this and would appreciate all the help I can get.

What 'boot' disk are you using? It sounds like a DOS boot disk of some kind. Are you trying to format with that or what?

Was trying to install an OS with FreeBSD bootdisk.

Isn't the error with the driver?

I don't have a floppy, can I still use "Boot Floppy" on a cd?

No, I do not believe so. You need a tutorial on how to make a FreeBSD CD - here is one site:

Requirement "A machine with FreeBSD already installed.", don't have that so it will be difficult with the CD..

Only making sure, do I get this error because the motherboard don't have the drivers required for freebsd or for the cdrom itself?

Device driver not found: ´MSC001`.
No valid CDROM device drivers selected`

Can I remove my harddrive, connect it to another computer and install freebsd on that and then connect my harddrive to the first computer again?

I believe you create a DOS boot CD like a floppy, ie, you format 'E: /s' to format the CD with the system files on it. You then, it appears, need to have DOS cmd.com and the utilities like mscdex.exe etc on the CD and also configure an Autoexec.bat and Config.sys file.

I recommend you do some more searching for FreeBSD help in that regard.

Finally solved it...
The first bootcd I burned got corrupt so when I burned it again with Nero it worked great.
Thanks for the help.
