Hi!

Please, try a little bit shorter lines!  Thanks!

> I stopped my install, logged onto the Net, and began reading all the FAQs I could find on the topic. I discovered, only now, a week later, that I cannot use my CD ROM with FreeBSD! I own a Mitsumi FX001D controlled by a Sound Blaster card rather than a separate controller. From what I read, it seems that FreeBSD cannot get through the Soundblaster to control the CD Drive.

Hmm.  I think, it's an old model, which is not ATAPI, but use it's own
proprietary interface.  If it is, you may use it.  (And you can use it on a
SB-card - I have a Sony proprietary CD-ROM drive, and use it on a
SB16-card.)

1) Put the CD into the drive before boot.
2) after the boot prompt, type: -c
-> you will be in the hardware selection menu.
3) delete everything, which is not on your machine
4) Look, and CORRECT the values for the mcd driver!  I think, you need that.
5) etc.

If it's an ATAPI CD, I don't know anything about it.

Bye, Gabor
