Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I just made the decission to go with FreeBSD over Linux. I was able to get version 2.0.5, 2 CD-rom set. Ok, I have made the boot disk, and when I tell it to use the Media of CDROM, it says that the device is not to be found. I just installed a new CD-rom drive, and it is using an Interface card, since it doesn't seem to like going through an EIDE card, as a slave or primary drive.. Ok, is there away around this, I have looked on other sites, and have seen a driver for the APADI (sp) IDE driver support. Will this work, not ready to try it yet. Thanks. -Charles Smith
