We want to use the machine as a network server and a system to boot our Xterminals but cannot completely install all of the necessary Unix elements. We bought this PC for this specific purpose and had it configured with a Soundblaster and CD recomended by FreeBSD: Mitsushita ("SoundBlaster") CDROM interface card The Soundblaster/CD is recognized by the DOS partition but we cannot get the FreeBSD install program or the FreeBSD Unix system to recognize that a CD is present. We initially worked around this problem by loading up a system that would allow us to build a new kernel as suggested in the FreeBSD Handbook (on internet). To do this we had to copy needed directories to our (very small) DOS partition and run the install. Our theory was that once we got Unix functional we could build a new kernel with that configured the CDROM and load the rest of the stuff (eg. network programs, developer programs, etc.). I have tried repeatidly (without success) to build a kernel or complete an install that recognizes the CDROM and loads ALL the FreeBSD software available so we will have a complete Unix system for networking. The people at Walnut Creek (FreeBSD developers) have lent NO HELP at all even though I have called them countless times. My answer from them is they do not know anything to help me but will have someone call me back and this never happens. How can I get this machine completely and successfully loaded? If you need anymore info from me, please let me know.
