hello, i've check with several place (http://www.bsd.org; ftp://ftp.bsd.org; file:/usr.../handbook/handbook.html; file:/usr.../FAQ/freebsd-faq.html) and at some the IDE is stated as not supported and at some the IDE rom drive is stated as still in alpha status. i've already ordered the cd's from walnut creek. my goldstar model: gcd-r542b, enhanced IDE cd-rom drive will be here tomorrow. i need to know it will be compatible for freebsd. i can't use ethernet since my dorm's concrete walls are too drill through and the school does not support slip/ppp since it's a firewall security problem. and ftp 300 megs to my inet acct is definitely out of the question. therefore, cdrom seems to be my only option. i need to know if my cd drive will work thanx l8r
