Here's the tricky part. The CD-ROM is attatched to the motherboard at the "ISA IDE BUS" which the bios calls the sencondary Hard Disk. This is where the problem begins... The BIOS is really old and does not see that there is a CD-ROM on that bus. I have no idea how windowz found the CD-ROM but I can't get FreeBSD 4.0 to install from this after I boot from floppies... Any suggestions? Do I need to provied more info? Any input appreciated. Adam Michalak To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
