Hi,
I've been using RouterOS in a standard PC format for a while now but I've recently bought a mini system based on a Geode GX1-S 300Mhz CPU with 64MB RAM and a 128MB PQI Disk-On-Module. The system is equipped with USB and so for installation of ROS, I connected a USB CD-ROM and configured the BIOS to boot from USB-CD then C drive.
The system then boots using the CD media but fails with the message...
Looking for harddrives...
found harddrive as IDE Secondary Master (disk E)
FATAL ERROR: no CD-ROM found
Press ENTER to reboot
...and as much as I play around with the setup, I can't get any further. I've also tried both the release and beta versions.
I could try USB-Floppy but I don't want to waste so much time if it's likely to have similar problems with USB based media?
Can anyone offer any suggestions/comments?
Many thanks,
Gerrard.

the easiest way is to boot from the cf
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\randy>C:\physdiskwrite.exe C:\2.8.23-install-image.img
that is the software name and then just load whichever version . you need to load the image file not the cd version
dont know why your getting the error message but , we have had this issue and gave up and just load direct to flash unit.
you can also load the flash unit in a test mach. then install it in the other unit

boot from network, and install via Netinstall.

It is actualy 16 years old. And seems like the isue was never solved. Semms like nobody cares. I am after 2 days of infinite try's, and still could not do an x86 install.
I am using mikrotik products and I was actualy very happy with it.
After 2 days of crap, no ideas what to do else, I believe I will just burn everything I know about mikrotik and just move to a real company.
