I have a Toshiba (ATAPI-IDE) CD-ROM on my Secondary IDE as master. The Sony (which I'm told is compatible to Toshiba) won't auto-reckonize my CD-ROM. When I change it to port 0x170 (the port my driver tells me it's on) it conflicts with the secondary cd-rom driver. The WCD driver is not present in this installation, even though it's made reference to in the READMEs, this would be the driver that is probaly most compatible, yet it's not in the installation options. 2) When I copy the files to C:\freebsd\* it won't reckonize them. I don't know if the mount isn't working or what but I copied everything in windows, so I don't know if the win file system is screwing things up. 3) I can't install by FTP, it won't reckonize my modem. I'm pretty sure my modem will work outside of the windows enviornment (it's plug and play, but it's also on com2). Any help would be appriciated. If I can't get this working I'm afraid I'll have to run linux on this machine. Thanks, Bill Fumerola (hack@irc.igateway.net) IGateway.Net IRC Operator.
