Both have Sony CDROMs (and one has a 5.25" floppy drive! =). However, I only have 'found' the drive on one. On the first, I recklessly clobbered the old M$ OS without checking all of the hardware configurations. Now I cannot find the Sony CDROM. If I boot looking at the default 0x230, nothing. If I boot at 0x340, which is where I found it on the other machine (by looking it up in Winbloze first), still nothing. How can I determine the I/O address for this CDROM? Along these lines, for the weekend I am remote from this box, but I can ssh in. How can I configure the kernel (without continuously rebuilding new ones) to try different addresses using just the boot files (since I won't be at the console)? I've looked at boot(8) and loader(8). The docs are fairly voluminous an example of the commands to do it would be a great help. Thanks for help or pointers to more specific documentation. -- Crist J.
