BTW, it's not due to bad memory. It's due to this new Goldstar CD-ROM. I took their older version - Goldstar 540 and it worked fine. And I had similar problem with WinNT - it defines it as ATAPI 1.2 CD-ROM and dies, when trying to install from it ;(. > Btw, I have a Reveal GCD-R542B (interesting that they have the same > number) Another btw, it says 'ATAPI streaming tapes not supported yet' on > my system. Obviously, Goldstar engineers had invented something very new ;). Btw, I gave this CD-ROM to Serge Vakulenko (vak@cronyx.ru) - the author of the ATAPI CD-ROM driver - perhaps FreeBSD will support it soon. > > > > I don't know.
