I am missing some fundamental step for installing 3.0-R from cdrom.
I can boot 3.0 from the cd by using 1:wd(0,a)kernel at the boot prompt.
When I configure everything, I make sure the irq/dma, etc. is all correct.
When everything is set under the /stand/sysinstall screen (I mainly do
custom), and go to the media screen, my cdrom isn't recognized (Mitsumi 32x).
I tried going to another VT and mounting it, but that doesn't help.
What am I missing? If the system boots with the cd, shouldn't it be
recognized later?
Thanks,
Mike
