I recently purchased the "Complete FreeBSD" book. I am trying to install the software into a Intel Pentium via the cdrom. I have a HITACHI series cd-rom. Using the boot.flp the kernel identifies the cd-rom, however when I try to install from the cd-rom the setup says there is no cd-rom available. I read the paragraph on IDE CD-ROM drives (page 29) and it says I had to change the cd-rom to a slave drive, which I did. The text also calls for making a boot floppy from /cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp Am I missing something? The book contained release 2.1.5. Any help is appreciated. I have full internet access. Please let me know where I can get the necessary software to install.
