I successfully booted FreeBSD/Alpha on my PC164LX from floppy disks with
the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp images on them. I had intended to install
FreeBSD from floppy disks, but when I chose this option on the
installation media screen, it told me that there was no floppy drive
device. Even though I don't have a FreeBSD CD, I chose the CDROM option
out of curiosity, and it said that there was no CDROM drive, even though I
do have a SCSI CDROM drive. It did this on both versions 3.4 and 3.3, on
both Novice and Custom installation modes. The disk partitioning program
recognizes the UWSCSI hard drive correctly. What could be causing the
problem? Thanks in advance.
