I want to install FreeBSD 2.0 from a CDROM. I have a Panasonic CDROM drive 
connected to a SoundBlaster16 compatible board (from Genius) in a Pentium90 PC.
I have found the following technical information  
- audiocard's I/O base address 220
- Panasonic CR-563-x 0.75 double speed drive
The drive is not recognized while booting and also no driver is loaded after
the first part of the installation of FreeBSD 2.0. BTW I heard that the drive
is supported by Linux.
I have the following questions:
Is there a driver for the Panasonic CDROM drive available for FreeBSD 2.0?
What should I do to make a boot floppy which recognized the drive (I still do
not have a running version of FreeBSD).


Thanks for your time
