Hello, I got Walnut Creek CDROM of FreeBSD 2.1.6, January 1997 version. It's pretty fine, except for a problem I found. I canned FAQs, handbooks and some materials on the Internet, but I cannnot find any workaround. Could you please let me know how it can be solved if you know ? I have two PCs each has one CD-ROM, Mitsumi FX001 and a ATAPI. When I booted with boot floppy generated with MAKEFLP.BAT, The FreeBSD cannnot find these CD-ROMs. it says no CD-ROM drive on the system. It is true when I booted with INSTALL.BAT. However, after installing it with copying on MS-DOS partition and making its own kernels, it successfully find these CD-ROMs. Moreover. I believe with the older version, i.e. 2.1, I could install it from these CD-ROMs. My questions is: Is there any way to FreeBSD installation process find these CD-ROMs ? Thanks in advance.
