Namely I have IDE Atapi CDROM and it is not = in the drivers list of the generic kernel for 2.1.5. I will not use = floppies, and I do not have place on my DOS partition. I have PCI SOYO = 27..B2 board, very good, Win95 does not hang, DOS and Linux RedHat = Picasso(kernel 2.0.0) have no problems. More generic kernel has = problems with my EIDE Western Digital 540 MB drive. It is also not found = : I could not use DOS partition even if I wanted. It means I cannot = replace my RedHat with Your FreeBsd. I suggest to prepare more general = generic kernel.
