Maybe I am a little bit out of date, but the fact is that i got 2CD installations of FreeBSD 2.1.0 and i Have a Pentium PC with tomato motherboard (HX chipset) and 8x ATAPI CD-ROM (LG exGoldStar). I tried everything that have been written in the readme files and install.txt and others, but nothing worked. I still cannot install FreeBSD because it just does not find my CD-ROM. As was said in one of the readme files, the ATAPI driver is in the ALPHA state. Was it updated since then ? And, of course, how can I install FreeBSD ? (ftp install will not work, because it will take about 2 months to complete, LAN install will not work eather, because there is no LAN here) I was think about doing install from a DOS partition by installing a new HDD, copying file there and then installing it from there to another hdd. But i don't have an empty hdd..:(( Help me, please! Artem Koutchine matrix@infoce-2-ll.ll4.relcom.ru
