With the help from many of you (Dan Busarow, Wolfgang and others), I finally made the installation of FreeBSD 2.2.1 to my machine and it is running fine, except I still can not mount the CDROM. Some of you suggested that the CDROM(Matsushita CDROM/Panasonic Drive CR-563, connected to a soundcard) is not supported by the GENERIC kernel therefore I need to rebuild the kernel. I need to consult the manual to find how. In the meantime, if anyone out there who has successfully mounted this kind CDROM, could you please let me know the procedure ? thanks Can anyone please also tell me a type of CDROM (model, type etc) which has been proven to work with FreeBSD without any problem ?. (if I fail again, I may just buy one which is known to work). One mystery during my installation (by DOS partition): If I bootup the machine using the bootup disk (made from the CD), when I select DOS as installation medium, the error message says: DOS partition could not been found (something like that). If I bootup by using a DOS boot disk then lanuch the installation from the CD (which I can see from DOS), then everything went on very smoothly. (there are several different instruction on how to make FreeBSD boot disk. I tried all of them but ended with the same results). Thank you all very much. -- Yaning Wang ========================================================== TP Analyst Network Service, Systems Technology State Farm Insurance Companies http://homepage.dave-world.net/~yaning
