Hello,
	I am in desperate need of assistance.  I have just purchased
a soundblaster system with a quad speed CD drive.  I have an IDE hardrive
that I have partitioned 350M for DOS and 650 for FreeBSD.  I cannot get
the unix kernel that is created from the CD in DOS to recognize the CD
when I try to install it using config.  I have tried every port address
and IRQ that the soundblaster documentation gives.  The CD light won't
even come on.  It is not being recognized at all.  I think that the
drivers built into the startup floppy boot don't communicate with
the hardware for ny CD.  Is there a way, I can get this new CD to
work?  I have even tried to copy some of the software onto my C: drive
and install from that.  But, it says that I'm missing some files.  I
don't have enough room to copy the whole CD.  I only have about 100M
for this in that partition.  Please help!!!
Tony
