Hello, I recently bought Greg Lehey's "The Complete FreeBSD" from Walnut Creek, 3rd ed. I'm having a problem when trying to install. I'd like to dual boot win98se and BSD. I have all the partitioning setup and I'm trying to install from the CD-ROM. The problem is that I get all the way through the install process, upto the point where it actually installs. Then it says it cannot find the CD-ROM device, even if I boot from the CD. The book said to email you for help. My CD-ROM is an ATAPI Sony CDU701. It is set as IDE Secondary Master, if that matters at all. This seems strange to me since Sony CD-ROM's are supposed to be supported. One other thing, I tried, a little, to configure the kernel before the install. It had a bunch of conflicts. 13. Anyway, 2 were with CD-ROM devices so I disabled all but the Sony. Still no luck. I'd really like to get this setup and stop relying on this windows box so much :) Anyway, any help in fixing this would be nice.
