It can't find the CDROM!

So I can't get on the internet to install that way. I want to install FreeBSD in that Compaq i486DX2 machine. One of the = nic cards is a Linksys 16 bit networking card. Generic NE2000 (not = pci), and the other is a Netgear 16 bit neworking card (not pci). The = cdrom drive plugs into the sound card, and needs the SBPCD driver to = operate the CD player. I have no idea if FreeBSD has or uses this = driver. Has anyone in your group done this? I would like to keep on using this = machine since it is built like a tank, and has run all these years, for = weeks at a time, without any breakdown. It still has a lot of life left = in it. --- Don't fret, don't worry, and relax, because outgoing mail is scanned and = certified Virus Free.
