What I need to figure out is, can my ATAPI drive be made to work with FreeBSD as it does with DOS, or should I give up? If not, how can I install packages given I am not internet attached with FreeBSD and stagingto DOS garbles the filenames? Recap and update: I installed 2.1 off CD by way of DOS. I attempted the two CD install options without avail. I made the kernel with controller wdc1, options ATAPI and device wcd0, all verbatim per LINT. The kernel comes up probing wdc1 successfully but with no mention of wcd0. There is a wcd0c in /dev. If I insert a CD and attempt to mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /mnt it tells me that device is not configured. If I MAKEDEV wcd0 with CD inserted the command completes without comment, but no node of that name results. I find no guidance from apropos or FAQ on debugging ATAPI. A search on the web reveals more ATAPI problems than solutions. If you have guidance or can direct me to documentation on this, that would be most appreciated!
