It is true when I booted with INSTALL.BAT. Do they show up during the boot sequence? Try hitting 'scroll-lock' and using the up arrow key to see the boot messages. I seem to remember the FX001's not quite coforming to ATAPI spec so FreeBSD doesn't find them. You might also try moving them to the slave position on the primary controller if they aren't there already; otherwise, alone on the secondary controller. > However, after installing it with copying on MS-DOS partition > and making its own kernels, it successfully find these CD-ROMs. > Moreover.
