Subject: Question about the IDE CDROM support in FreeBSD
I am very satisfied with Walnut Creek CDROM(FreeBSD). But, I have some problems.
I would appreciate it if you would help me to resolve my problem.
My PC has an IDE CD-ROM. I added following statements in my config file and
rebuild a kernel.
controller wcd0 at isa? port *IO_WD2* bio irq 15 vector wdintr
But build failed with the following messages at final stage.
loading kernel
ioconf.o Undefined symbol *_wcddriver* referenced data segment.
[Question 1]
What shall I do to remove this error?
I tried to install lynx to read FAQ to solve above problem. But pkg_add command
failed with following message.
pkg_add cannot find "/msdos/packages/all/lynx-2.4.2.tgz".
(I could not use my CD-ROM drive under FreeBSD. So, I copied all
directory/files from CDROM to MSDOS partition and mount it by
mount_msdos command.)
I searched lynx* by find command, but, I could not find a member lynx-2.4.2.tgz
in /msdos file system. Only the following members existed.
/msdos/packages/all/lynx_2.4
/msdos/packages/networki/lynx_2.4
/msdos/ports/distfile/lynx_2.4.tar
/msdos/ports/net/lynx
Moreover, most members under packages/all directory don't have suffix .tgz.
I tried next with lynx_2.4, but pkg_add failed with the following message.
pkg_add /msdos/packages/all/lynx_2.4 (my input command)
Tar extract of /msdos/packages/all/lynx_2.4 failed!
unable to extract table of contents file from */msdos/packages/all/lynx_2.4*.-
not a package (error message generated)
I also tried /stand/sysinstall. The menu displays lynx-2.4.2, but cannot install
the package. Sysinstall issues the following message.
unable to fetch package lynx-2.4.2 from selected media. No package add will
be done.
[Question 3]
What shall I do to install packages.Could'nt I install package withtout
CDROM?
Any comment is helpful. Thanks in advance.
