A co-worker has a Dell Inspiron 3000 200MHz with 32MB RAM and 2.1 GB disk. There is a Toshiba XM-1702B CD-ROM in there along with every- thing else -- a marvel of Mechanical Engineering (*grin*) The only problem is this: the FreeBSD 2.2.6-REL sysinstall program cannot recognize the first (of four!) CD-ROMs (although Windows 95 had no problem -- that is how he got the boot.flp image onto floppy). I was having an email discussion with Greg Lehey and he thought the Master/Slave issue may be involved here, but I don't know how or why, and I sure as heck don't know how Dell puts all that stuff together... Any ideas how we go about "seeing" the CD-ROM in the Toshiba drive? Regards, web... -- William Bulley Senior Systems Research Programmer Merit Network, Inc.
