As far as = I can tell ATA0 is controlling my harddrive and ATA1 is controlling my = CD-ROM which is a "Matsushita CR-563-B". But when I go into my computers = BIOS it says that Their is only one device being controlled (which I am = assuming is my harddrive) and it is the master on controller 0. The = slave on that controller says "none" along with the master and slave on = controller 1. Well, what all this is leading up to is the fact that I = can boot up the install disk, go threw the configuration, but when I get = to were it asks me were I would like to install from, and I say CD-ROM, = it says "no CD-ROM found". Oh, and I am booting the install program = which is on CD from two floppies: one Kernel and one MFS Root, if that = helps. Please Help. I would be happy to act as a ginnie pig to fix this = problem if you would like to do some E-Mail tag to get this problem = solved.
