First off I found that the SCSI card made by DTC isn't 1542 compatible. Upon boot up I see the following, but don't know what's happening: fdc0 0x3F0 - 0x3F7 irq 6 drq 2 on ISA fdc0: NEC 765 I do have a NEC SCSI CD-ROM and I believe that it is on irq 6, but why can't I access it? Second, i have given up accessing the CD-ROM and have started to copy necessary files to a DOS partition in a directory named freebsd. In this attempt I have been able to get a minimal system up and running(very minimal). I keep having installation problems saying it can't find "manpages/manpages.aa!" and can't find "dict/dict.aa!". What files do I have to copy over to rid myself of these errors? I also want to install x windows and emacs so I can get some work done. What files are necessary for this and does everything have to be in the freebsd directory? So far, I have assumed so. A little confused, Mike Marr
