His attempts at installing FreeBSD from that CD-ROM have met with abysmal failure: $ Next came an install on my Pentium 60 (previously running Caldera-2.2) $ - A total disaster.... no way despite 12 attempts to install, could I $ get FreeBSD to actually initialise the sbpcd (freebsd calls it matcdc) $ despite changing IO's, entering the manual configuration option etc $ etc... it would not & could not, find the cdrom & so I had to abort the $ install every time!! Is the matcd driver known to work on FreeBSD 3.2 ? If not, does anyone have any estimate of the amount of effort that'd be required to fix it? - mark Is the matcd driver known to work on FreeBSD 3.2 ?
