I took my new 3.0-R cd down to the computer store and tried different Cd-Rom drives till I found a brand that would boot FreeBSD from the CD. Several did and one of them is Mitsumi FX3400S!B. I bought a new one (same thing), took it home and installed the CD Drive onto my Aptiva E-26. After running Win95 and testing the new drive, I did a soft reboot with the new 3.0-R CD in the drive. It didn't boot (kernel not found). I then rebooted into Win95, accessed the CD, and did soft reboot again. This time, I booted FreeBSD from the HD. Not only did fbsd not find the CD-Rom, the probe said there was nothing at the 170 address! What am I missing? I also did a cold reboot, booted from the HD with -c and then quit and let the probing start. Still nothing. Any help would be appreciated ie I can't really take the Mitsumi back.
