Dear FreeBSD,
Re: Walnut Creek CD 2.1.5 August, 1996.
It seems I have an NEC_IDE CD ROM. Therefore, I am a candidate
for your alpha test atapi support.
I have at least 3 questions.
1. Where can I find atapi.flp ? It is not on my CD from Walnut
Creek, and it is not at a couple of your ftp sites that I have looked
at.
2. How do I jumper my CD rom drive as a slave?
3. Is this why my boot floppy just goes into an error loop? Soon
after the boot: appears, it just goes
Error C:0 H:0 S:0 over and over.
4. I tried to set up to install from a DOS partition, using xcopies
of files from the CD to the DOS drive, but an xcopy of the files
in the packages\x11 directory just results in a bunch of files with 0
bytes in them. They look empty to the DOS dir command, also.
The \bin directory files copied over OK, I think. I suppose the
FAT on the CD could be lying about what's in the files. Either that
or these files really are defective. Either way, it doesn't look good
for my using the DOS partition method of installation.
