Hi:

I just bought FreeBSD 2.0 from Walnut Creek.  The CD-ROM has a January, 1994
date, but the case is dated January, 1995. Release notes on the CD is ver 2.0
so I guess I have the latest version.

Will this version work with a SonyCDU-55e drive?  This is an IDE ATAPI CD-ROM
that I have connected directly to one of the built-in IDE ports on my PC.  If
it will not, is there an alternative way that I can get the OS installed on
my PC short of buying a supported SCSI CD-ROM and controller?

My system is a DX/2-66, 700MB H/D, 16MB RAM, PCI bus, 3.5", 5.25", Colorado
Tape, Sound Blaster Pro 16, 28.8 internal modem, Diamond PCI video.  The H/D
is connected to the primary IDE port and the CD-ROM is connected to the
second port.

Thanks for your help.

Dave Davis
