i'm building a machine to run freebsd 2.1.5.  the FAQ says IDE cd-roms are
"experimental."  from what i've been reading here, that is not quite the
case?  all i want the cd for is to load the os, so i'm after the cheapest
way to go.  you can get 4x ide cd drives for 60 bucks, which looks good to me!

thanks,
   eddie
