I cannot get FreeBSD to recognize my CD-ROM. Out of 3 configurations of
cards and drives, none work. It has been suggested that I recompile the
kernal to recognzie my drive. How do I do that if I can't get OS
installed? Also, since Slackware Linux installs fine, can I upgrade to
FreeBSD and overwrite the Linux OS? Thanks for any input.
