Am now attempting to get FreeBSD onto a Gateway Solo laptop with an ATAPI CD-ROM. I'm working with a 2.2 snapshot disk, and am not getting very far! There's a mention of an ATAPI install disk in the pamphlet in the front, but no such image on the disk! When I installed by copying from the CD-ROM to a DOS partition, I still couldn't get the CD-ROM to work. Nor could I get the 3Com 3C562 Ethernet PCMCIA/Modem card, or even a standard modem card, to work so that I could bring in CD-ROM code from the Net. What's the best way to get up and running? This system will need CD-ROM and PCMCIA support at the very least.
