X-URL: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/latest/notes.html Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I just purchased a Smart & friendly Multimedia package which includes a SoundCard with SCSI (Future Domain) and SCSI CD ROM. I Actually got the Multimedia package mostly for the CD ROM because the Price was a lot cheaper to buy than a SCSI CD ROM by itself (Store Going out of Business sale). I was trying to install the 2.1 release of FreeBSD and ran into some problems I was able to start the install from the CD ROM and could not access the CD ROM for the ROOT Portion so I used a ROOT Floppy to complete this part I however was not able to get the CD ROM to work after I tried to go further in the install it couldn't access the CD ROM. I would at least like to try before having to purchase a SCSI card for the CD ROM to work. I am kind of new to UNIX itself and wanted to use FreeBSD I did do a working install of 2.05 from a DOS Partition and wanted to try using the CD ROM because of space limitations. Any help would be appreciated or if you need more information please E-mail me. Thanks Terrance teryoung@pixi.com
