I also have the dreaded sony 2x cheapo cdrom drive running on a ess tech ide sound card (soundblaster clone). from what ive read on the cd docs, my cdrom/sound card are not supported at all. what exactly does this mean? can i install freebsd using this cd and after the install is complete i wont be able to access the cdrom? or does this mean that i cant install using this cdrom because freebsd takes over at some point during the installation and wont recognize the cdrom thus halting the install? on the other hand, has support for the sony/soundcard setup been added since the cd docs were written? tia =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- / BIG BEAR ONLINE INFORMATION SERVICE SERVING BIG BEAR VALLEY \ - Ski/Tourist & System Info Send Blank Email to info@bigbear.com - \ FREEBSD UNIX Mail List 4 TBBS/ISP SysOp's fbsdlist@bigbear.com / - Modem (909)866-2138 28.8 Fido 1:207/501 Inet sysop@bigbear.com - / Computer/Network parts at wholesale prices call (909)866-2196 \ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
