I'm making progress installing FreeBSD. I've found that, even when using the atapi floppy installation method, I can't install from my Toshiba ATAPI CDROM...it locks up (after it identifies my cdrom as wd1, which is incorrect, anyway) If I using the install/reconfiguration utility, I can remove wd1 from the available storage devices, and the install goes a little further (going to the menu-driven utility). But then it can't find the CDROM. I tried telling the kernel config that my CDROM has the same parameters (I/O, IRQ, etc.) as wd1, and removing wd1. It still can't see my CDROM drive. Perhaps my drive is not supported. (If that's the case, I'll have to install from an existing partition, I guess...) How can I find out if my drive is supported (and if FreeBSD 2.2.2 now supports EIDE drives beyond sector 1024) -David --------------------------------------- David B.
