ATAPI CDROM. You'll need to compile a custom kernel for ATAPI |==> support, as I believe the kernel which is installed (even if you use |==> the ATAPI boot floppy to install) is the plain GENERIC kernel which |==> doesn't have ATAPI support. See the documentation for instructions on Yes, it is absolutely true. I installed the FreeBSD five times and every time I came across the same problem for the building of ports and mounting the /cdrom. I installed both from boot floppy and CD-ROM direct, but result is the same. Anyways, I got a IDE CD-drive (TEAC 6x) and I am totally confused what to do next. Even the documentation make me more confuse and I really need help for the correct/complete installation of my UNIX system. It will be greatly appreciated if you give me a clear direction in detail. Thanks, Kazem. |==> compiling kernels. You will need to have installed at least the |==> ``ssys'' kernel source code distribution to be able to do this. |==> |==> Gary |==> -- |==> Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member |==> FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
