Dear Reader,
             I have recently purchased FreeBSD 2.0.5 CD set. However my CD
drive is not supported(It is a Gateway 2000 IDE ATAPI 1.2).
I have installed the basic distribution from the DOS partition.
I understand that the next release of freeBSD does support my CD drive.
Can I reconfigure the kernel on my system to support my drive using a
snapshot of the next release obtained over the internet?

        Help appriciated:)

                   Regards David Hickey.
