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..

              ]  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!
