I've got a Sony CDU50E CDROM Drive that seems incompatible with  FreeBSD
2.1
When loading DOS -- read  dual boot  -- it reports  "ATAPI CDROM Device
Driver 2.14a"
and the device is properly read in both DOS and Windows 3.1 
Also, I used the CDROM to do the initial install of 2.1.
Q1. Is it true that this model doesn't work under 2.1 ?
Q2. Is this device compatible during and after installation with a later
release of  FreeBSD ?
Best Regards
