Ive got a 486/66 with a conner ide 540 on a generic vlb controller. I also have
the dreaded sony 2x cheapo cdrom drive running on a ess tech ide sound card
(soundblaster clone).

from what ive read on the cd docs, my cdrom/sound card are not supported at
all. what exactly does this mean? can i install freebsd using this cd and after
the install is complete i wont be able to access the cdrom? or does this mean
that i cant install using this cdrom because freebsd takes over at some point
during the installation and wont recognize the cdrom thus halting the install?

on the other hand, has support for the sony/soundcard setup been added since
the cd docs were written?

tia
