My Bios supports booting from CD and I have tried both this and making a = boot floppy-set, but get the same result each time - when I select = CD-ROM as the installation medium, I get the "No CD-ROM device found" = error. I have a Sony CDU-4811 CD-ROM running on the second IDE port on = the motherboard. I have a GA-586T2 motherboard with a pentium MMX-166 = with 128MB of RAM. It has 2-channel ultra DMA/33 enhanced IDE on board = using IRQ 14 & 15, and supports mode 3, 4 IDE and ATAPI CD-ROM (taken = straight from the motherboard user manual, as you may have guessed). I don't think I can install from any other medium as I am sharing the = hard drive with an NT 4.0 partition (NTFS not FAT) and it is a = standalone PC (no network). I tried making a DOS partition and copying = the install CD, and this gave an error and failed (I guess because it is = not the primary microsoft partition). =20 Is there something I need to change in the kernel configuration or a new = driver to support the Sony CD-ROM? Any help you can provide will be = graciously accepted as I desperately want to install BSD as soon as = possible. Cheers, Michael Malone ------=_NextPart_000_0011_01C0C5DF.AD5B6200 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2314.1000" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Dear FreeBSD:</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I am currently trying to install Free = BSD from a=20 Walnut Creek CD, dated June 1999, which came with the book "The Complete = FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey which I have recently purchased.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>My Bios supports booting from CD and I = have tried=20 both this and making a boot floppy-set, but get the same result each = time - when=20 I select CD-ROM as the installation medium, I get the "No CD-ROM device = found"=20 error.
