How do I install FreeBSD 2.1 from this drive? On other machines, in the past, I've installed from a SCSI CD and then config'd the kernel, after installation, to recognise the IDE CD drive (removed refs to wd1, wd2 in the config file). Can I install straight from an IDE CD drive? For instance, can I do a "kernel -c" boot and have it recognise the drive that way? Any info/pointers much appreciated. Mike ---
