Dear FreeBSD:

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.

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. I have a Sony CDU-4811 CD-ROM running on the second IDE = port on the=20 motherboard. I have a GA-586T2 motherboard with a pentium MMX-166 = with=20 128MB of RAM. It has 2-channel ultra DMA/33 enhanced IDE on board = using=20 IRQ 14 & 15, and supports mode 3, 4 IDE and ATAPI CD-ROM (taken = straight=20 from the motherboard user manual, as you may have guessed).

I don't think I can install from any = other medium=20 as I am sharing the hard drive with an NT 4.0 partition (NTFS not = FAT)=20 and it is a standalone PC (no network). I tried making a DOS = partition and=20 copying the install CD, and this gave an error and failed (I guess = because it is=20 not the primary microsoft partition).

Is there something I need to change in = the kernel=20 configuration or a new driver to support the Sony CD-ROM? Any help = you can=20 provide will be graciously accepted as I desperately want to install BSD = as soon=20 as possible.

Cheers,

Michael=20 Malone
