The drive is an IDE drive. The kernal setup seems to think the drive is a harddisk - it shows up as drive wdc1 with IO addr. 0x170, IRQ 15 which are correct. Is there any way to tell the setup that this drive is a CD - or is the drive unsupported? For other OSes (such as OS/2) a 'standard IDE' driver can be used. Another question: doesn't FreeBSD support a serial mouse? There doesn't seem to be a driver. regards, Joergen Kjaersgaard
