When I am trying to install FreeBSD I am getting the following messages:

I've set up my IRQ's fine: IRQ 5 for cdrom, and IRQ 0 for hard drive.
Drive is on the Wide cable on the controller, and the cdrom on the regular
SCSI cable. Terminator is set ON on cdrom.

I am able to run DOS fine, as long as I don't try to install the drivers
needed for the cdrom. I talked some hours to techs support that supported
the controler, but couldn't come up with any help so far.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

tnx.

robert tan.
