I have a Toshiba XM-5502TA. How do I load the OS when the boot kernel doesn't recognize the CD-ROM? I had 3 responses to this and still nothing has worked. Is there a phone # I can call to ask someone to guide me through what is going on? The main problem I am having is I'm new to this FreeBSD and the documentation has many things in it that are not true. Most of the stuff in the book about ATAPI is just not on the CD. Is there a document with the real instuctions on how to get the kernel to recognize an ATAPI CDROM? Thanks Mark
