I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.2 onto a P150 with 16 MB of
RAM. I want to install from a Mitsumi 8X CD-ROM. I have a
small DOS partition. DOS mounts the CD-ROM just fine at
0x170 and IRQ 15. I have no reported conflicts when I
configure the FreeBSD kernel for installation and I am careful
to make sure the configuration reflects the 0x170 address and
the IRQ of 15 for the CD-ROM. When I go to complete the
installation and specify CD-ROM as the media, the installation
routine complains that it is unable to find a CD-ROM device.
The frosting on the cake is that I've previously installed
FreeBSD 2.2.2 on this same machine using the same CD-ROM without
a hitch.
I'm at a loss as to even know what to check. Any suggestions?
Thanks for any input.
