I've been trying unsuccessfully for a couple of weeks now to install FreeBSD from the Walnut Creek CD-ROM 2-disk set I purchased at Comdex '95 (Canada). The documentation claims that the Mitsumi is one of the supported CD-ROM drives, but every time I try the install, I get a "No valid CD-ROM drive found" error. I have a feeling this is due to the fact that the CD-ROM drive runs off of my SoundBlaster 16, and since the SB16 is not being initialized during the installation, thus the drive is not being found. When I boot up under DOS and run the install program, it recognizes the drive, but as soon as the system does a reboot and installs the FreeBSD boot sector to complete the installation, it looses the CD-ROM drive. Is there any way around this problem, such as a driver I can load from a boot disk to get the system to install from CD?????? Any help you can offer on this problem, would be greatly appreciated.
