Thanks to those who helped. Have moved from that to modification of kernel for cdrom support. Edited kernel.generic and left in atapi cdrom support options. On bootup cdrom is probed but media type not recognized. Also left in options CD9660. What is the proper syntax to mount cdrom from command line? (have looked at man mount and its a little cryptic for unix newbie) Should the lines in the generic kernel work "as is" for an atapi type cdrom? >From what I've read so far if installation or mounting is successful files on cdrom will be available in cdrom dir in root? Thanks again for the support and the work in creating this alternative to mickey soft dependence! Paul http://www.hangarflight.com
