I still can't get Free BSD to find my CD-ROM at install.
I took the CD-ROM drive out and changed the cable from master to
slave and changed the jumpers sometimes it would not even
boot from the CD . When it did boot it didnt find the CD drive.
I then tried to boot from floppy with the CD in it still didnt find the
CD drive .

I then tried something really different. I made a boot floppy for
Open BSD and when it booted it found the CD drive the first time
it probed my computer.

I guess my computer is set up in a way that FreeBSD can't find
my CD drive. I really want to install Free BSD but it it getting
fustrating . Will some one please help?
