----- Original Message ----- From: Carlos J Garcia <garciacj@gate.net> To: <FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Monday, August 16, 1999 6:26 PM Subject: Install help needed. I still can't get Free BSD to find my CD-ROM at install. I took the CD-ROM drive out and changed the cable from master to slave and changed the jumpers sometimes it would not even boot from the CD . When it did boot it didnt find the CD drive. I then tried to boot from floppy with the CD in it still didnt find the CD drive . I then tried something really different. I made a boot floppy for Open BSD and when it booted it found the CD drive the first time it probed my computer. I guess my computer is set up in a way that FreeBSD can't find my CD drive. I really want to install Free BSD but it it getting fustrating .
