Looks like this is not a special case. My 3.0 Snapshot copy just couldn't find the 2nd IDE port, which my CD-ROM is connected to !! My computer is a normal VX board, AMD 5x86, Teac 6x IDE CD-ROM. This , at least, works under DOS, Win95. BTW, I do remember back in 2.2.1 (??), on some configuartion, the boot disk cannot find the CD-ROM, but after installed, a new , customised kernel can find the AT-API CD-ROM. SO I wonder if this is the same case... Yen-Wei Liu
