Hi,

I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.0 and I'm having a strange problem.
When booting from the BOOT disk the initialisation checks the
fd0 (1.44M) floppy drive.  When this has finished, the drive makes
a rather loud clunk and from then on the drive is unuseable until
I either warm-boot twice or I cold boot.  Any suggestions?  I'm going
to try different 1.44M drives today.

I have a CD-ROM drive attached to a Sound Blaster 16 card, can I
access the CD-ROM with this, as I haven't been able to boot yet I'm
not sure.  If not can I use a 3rd party CD-ROM Interface card or do
I need a real SCSI card?

Thanks, Simon.
