I encountered some problems, on of the worst with the CDROM. It keeps on giving me checksum errors, but if I retry it sometimes it will work. Additionally I keep getting timeout messages, at which point it retries automatically, and so far it has always managed to finish what it is doing (e.g., installing something). Is there anything to be done about these checksum & timeout errors? I am running on a Comtrade 486DX2/66, with a DTC3290ASE EISA SCSI controller. The CDROM is a mitsumi FX001 using the mitsumi interface card (non-scsi) I am wondering whether I/O conflicts are a source of my problem (with timeouts and checksum errors on my CD). I am getting the following errors on bootup: ep0 not probed due to I/O address conflict with mcd0 at 0x300 le0 not probed ... ze0 not probed ... ed1 not found at 0x300 mcd0 is my mitsumi CDROM at address 0x300 - 0x303, irq 11, drq 5. what are ep0, le0, ze0? Can I remove these? I installed FreeBSD 2.0 from Walnut Creek, dated Jan 95. Mitchell.
