Hello, I am in desperate need of assistance. I have just purchased a soundblaster system with a quad speed CD drive. I have an IDE hardrive that I have partitioned 350M for DOS and 650 for FreeBSD. I cannot get the unix kernel that is created from the CD in DOS to recognize the CD when I try to install it using config. I have tried every port address and IRQ that the soundblaster documentation gives. The CD light won't even come on. It is not being recognized at all. I think that the drivers built into the startup floppy boot don't communicate with the hardware for ny CD. Is there a way, I can get this new CD to work? I have even tried to copy some of the software onto my C: drive and install from that. But, it says that I'm missing some files. I don't have enough room to copy the whole CD. I only have about 100M for this in that partition. Please help!!! Tony
