I know this isn't the forum for questions but I have tried subscribing to the questions mailing list and can't tell whether it's taken. Everytime I send in the authorization I get a set of mail that consists of Majordomo results and Confirmation for subscribe . . . . Anyhow: I just bought the 3.3 release and can't complete the installation because BSD won't recognize my CD-ROM. I've got a Pentium system w/PCI, scsi hard disk, network card, us robotics modem, and sound card. The CD-ROM is connected to the bus via an OEM sound card configured as a SB16. The vanilla kernel doesn't work nor does reconfiguring the kernel by hand by changing the IRQ and port to match the settings reported to me by the Win95 System Resources Report. I've also tried using the IRQ and port for the sound card. Neither works. Any guidance would be appreciated. Would a DOS installation make more sense? I'd hate to lose the CD-ROM capability. Thanks.
