I recently purchased The Complete FreeBSD with the 3.2 / 4 CD ROM set from Walnut Creek. I have tried to install it, but I keep coming up with this No CD-ROM device found error. I went back to check on the kernel settings and tried each the three supported devices as best as I could .. no success. The computer is an Acer Aspire with an ATAPI 24X CD-ROM installed. It came that way. I tried Acer.. they knew little but would make an attempt for $35/hr! I tried where I bought the machine.. they claimed that I was beyond them. I have tried to determine information via looking at the device manager stuff on Win98.. no answers.. just ATAPI CD-ROM. Any suggestions? I was even wondering if there was some shareware program that could determine what this CD was. I almost forgot.. I did take the computer apart when I was putting in another HD, and still did not see anything of value on the CD case. I "assume" that Acer contracted someone to make the CD-ROM for them, but as I said, they aren't talking. About all I can find is that it 'appears' that the CD is on interrupt 15 as a secondary IDE and port 170. If I worded that correctly... I am confused.... How about you? The CD boots fine.. works fine.. but nothing I have run seems to detect it.. therefore FreeBSD doesn't seem to know how to recognize the very CD that it was using. Thanks..
