I have 2 hard disk drives 4.3 GB and 540 MB, respectively and = a Goldstar CD-ROM drive. Since my CD-ROM drive was not recognized by = Free-BSD, I copied it to my larger hard disk and completed the = installation from there (2 OS [DOS+FreeBSD]simultaneous). I am = currently reading documents regarding the problem of recognization of = ATAPI CD-ROMs but I could not make my way, yet. I have a couple of = questions for the dedicated helpers: 1. Can I still make the system recognize my CD-ROM drive? If yes, how? 2. First, I dedicate my 540 MB hard disk completely to FreeBSD, but than = I had problems with my W=DDn 98; it could not recognize it as a hard = disk but an unreadable CD-ROM device instead. This resulted in a = serious fall in Win98 performence since every explorer function resulted = in a search for an unexistent CD-ROM. Then I partitioned that dirve in = a way that allowed 4 MBs for DOS an rest for free BSD. Everything seems = to work well now. Any comments on this issue will be appreciated. 3. It may sound stupid but I am really new to Unix environment, so would = you please recommend me a way to list occupied/empty space on each = drive? I really can not predict to what percentage space I spared for = freeBSD. Thanks in advance.
