just a quick note, as I thought the condition was a little odd and possible due to one of your drivers.... I was installing FreeBSD onto an old box of mine which contained a stock Soundblaster/Matsushita cdrom...durring the install or FreeX86 the system crashed with an error of (6 I believe), anyhow it couldn't access a 1024byte sector, and kept looking, causing the install to "loop" since it failed... I finally tryed ejecting the disk durring an error message, and found that no finger prints or scratches, uppon replacing the disk the installer would nolonger recognize the drive... I shutdown and tryed restarting the install, but it still wouldn't recognize the cdrom drive, so I tried it under DOS/Windows with appropriate drives, and what concers me is that it dosn't work there either... So In conclusion durring a FreeBSD install my drive became toast, and I thought I should report it, and see if you can tell me a solution since I am at ends.... thanks, hope this is an isolated incident Nathan Elliott nelliott@gladstone.uoregon.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
