I've got FreeBSD 4.0 Release running on an IBM Netfinity 5000 server. I
recently upgraded the OS from Mandarke Linux 7.0.
When Mandrake was installed no problem was experienced with the CD-ROM
drive.
During the install of FreeBSD, I encountered read errors and had to install
by ftp'ing the CD from one of my other servers...........worked great!
I thought that it must be a bum CD drive. But after replacing it, I still
get the same problem of data overruns and timeout errors.
My guess is that the drivers for the cdrom aren't compatible and if so I'm
unsure where to go from here.
I'm somewhat new to FreeBSD and my efforts in locating information have bee=
n
fruitless.
Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
