--part1_30.111525ad.27cdf978_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Doug, I was trying to install FreeBsd4.2 and I am chalking it up to lack of support on the baseline image files that I am putting onto the 2 standard bootable "LINUX floppies" to bootstrap load a linux/unix/freebsd kernel into ram .... that works just fine... but the Sony CDROM cdu33a device ... does not seem to be supported by freebsd or by linuxpro5.4 or by easylinux2.4 ... which begs the question ... did i buy a lemon of a CDROM drive .. Or did Sony stop supporting it or no one has gotten around to writing a driver or a special bootable kernel floppy image yet for nonstandard hardware. Thanks again and whatever else you could add or direct me to ... to solve this little mystery ... would be greatly appreciated by me!! Thanks again!
