Hi,
I have run into a problem after installing a iomega zip drive.
Heres the scenario: ( i know some of these statements might not be
necessary
but I like to be thorough :))
1)I turned pnp back on for windows
2)installed ide version of internal iomega zip drive
3) booted into windows, windows found everything ok
4) booted into freebsd to surf web and listen to music
5) started up kscd, and about 2 seconds after starting it up realized I
forgot to
turn pnp off
6) kscd wouldn't close, I tried kill -9 (the pid), and it didn't help, i
finally used
the afterstep destroy function, but then freebsd got hung up (i.e. I
closed down
afterstep and couldn't open any more virtual terminals with alt=f*, I
couldn't
get to a prompt using ctrl-c etc.)
7) did a hard reboot turned off pnp and booted into freebsd, same
problem as
listed in step 7
8) did another hard reboot and executed /stand/sysinstall, but it got
hung up on
the probing devices menu thingy, and I couldn't open any more virtual
terminals
9) booted using the freebsd installation diskette with a generic kernel,
it also
got hung up on the probing devices... menu thingy, I was able to open
virtual
terminal f2 and it said the following messages
Debug: ioctl (3, TIOCCONS, NULL) = 0 (success)
Debug: Found a network device named vx0
Debug: Found a netowrk device named lp0
10) did another hard reboot because I couldn't get to a prompt off the
diskette
So, everything in freebsd works except tryign to mount the cdrom, and
using
the sysinstall program.
Here are my system specs:
p 200,
32 meg of ram,
4.1 gig hard drive (win 95),
5.1 gig hdd( freebsd, dead space -fat 32),
iomega zip drive,
atapi cd-rom(was known as wcd0-currently known as ???)
Here is my dmesg:

WARNING: / was not properly dismounted.
Also, I removed a 1 gig hard drive which contained a 10meg msdos
partition
and a 990 meg linux partition to free up a ide interface for the zip
drive. Since
I was automounting both the msdos partition and the linux partition at
run
time I had to adjust the fstab file accordingly.
Anybody have any suggestions or ideas?
if so I would appreciate them greatly.
Thanks in advance

p.s. on a side note, I enjoyed the option in linux of being able to tab
through
my last cli commands using the up and down arrow keys, is there any way
to
achieve this in freebsd?
