I am fairly new to Unix in general and FreeBSD specifically. I fdisked my hard drive on a 486 box in order to make room for the FreeBSD installation. I created the boot floppy from the FreeBSD CD-ROM and rebooted the 486. I went through all the selections on the Novice installation and when it asked me where I was installing from I said CD_ROM. (I have a panasonic cd rom) Upon hitting enter, I received a return that the device was not supported. Now I can't get the system to recognize the drive at all. Where do I find the proper driver(s) and how do I install them on the boot floppy so I can continue the installation from CD_ROM?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mark Corsi
