Dear FreeBSD,

Below are the message threads from my installation questions to Walnut
Creek.  They have since referred me to you in both this and another
e-mail.  Please look over ALL the data concerned and let me know what
you have as a possible solution.

Sincerely,

Mike Hebel

Mike, I am sorry for not responding to your message earlier. I only
got to it today, and sent a reply. You must understand that we get
many people with problems like yours, and most of the time they're
caused by setting the hardware to the incorrect IRQ, or something
simple like that. The problem you're recieving is unusual, and it
leads me to beleive that there may be some type of problem with the
support of your CDROM device. The driver that is supposed to support
it may be supporting your CDROM incorrectly. This problem may need the
attention of some of the FreeBSD developers. One of the FreeBSD
developers should respond to you very soon after you send an email to
questions@freebsd.org.
