Anychange that a Sun scsi CDROM would work. The sector size isn' the same as PC use. This is the first PC I've but together and my first attempt at using FreeBSD. I've orderd a Matrox to use with some on my $30 21 inch sun monitors; likely have to boot off of a PC monitor. Need to get the rest now; CPU's, memory, etc. If you have any suggestions it might save me a few bucks and time. -piet To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
