This is my second E-Mail about his subject. I purchased FreeBSD thinking I
had a Sound blaster CD rom drive only to try to install it and found out I
had a Panasonic IDE CDROM drive that I know your literature says I cannot
use. I have been trying for 2 days to load from floppies but to no avail.
Tonight I went out and purchased a Creative 2X CDROM drive ($69.95) and
connected it to my sound blaster card. It works fine. I ran the FreeBSD
Install program on the CDROM and this is what is says when the kernel boot is
looking for the cdrom..
mcd1 not found at 0x340
matcdo - Matsushita (Panasonic) CD Rom Driver by FDIV Version 1(16) 4-Apr-95
matcdo at 0X250-0x253 in isa
matcd0: [' ] matcd1: [' ] matcd2: ['
] matcd3: [' ]
scd0 not found at 0X230
Since I know that the card is at 240 and says the cdrom is at 250 when i boot
into DOS I assume the kernel is seeing the CDROM.
When I go into the Media section of the install and select CDROM I get a
message telling me that the CDROM is not recognized.
Please HELP!
Please respond to pafwl@aol.com
