I made the error of not selecting the HTML option when I first installed. The installation menu doesn't seem to offer me the HTML option except at initial install (I did try the reinstall option). Worse, I discover all my FAQs have turned into HTML and I don't know how to read them. So I may have missed some obvious documentation posing these questions. Is there an HTML reader that ships with the base installation so I can check out the FAQs etc? The reason I was looking for FAQs is that ATAPI isn't working yet. I first tried view, which took a core dump, then the ATAPI floppy and CDROM by way of DOS. The floppy took ten seconds or so to probe wdc1, irq 15, where I have my CD. It appeared to probe successfully. But the menu did not recognize CDROM as an installation medium. When I later remade the kernel I included ATAPI. That appears to probe wdc1 successfully in a few seconds. Note, dmesg makes no mention of wcd0, which is also in the kernel. Furthermore, I do not see any wcd entry in /dev. What next steps shall I take to make the device, mount it or appropriately edit fstab, or otherwise determine if there is hope for my CD drive under FreeBSD? BTW, kudos to all on the FreeBSD team, epecially the documentation team, who've made great strides.
