him there,
having loads of trouble installing freebsd 2.1 from walnut creek cd rom.
i made the boot floppy (rawrite doesn't work on NT, so I used w95) and
my 486-4/100 boots from the floppy and i can go thru the install
definition process
(which pkgs, what partitions, etc.), but when i get to select the source,
the toshiba scsi cd rom (txm3401e1 on an adaptec 1540) is not found.

the adaptec finds the cdr at boot (lists it as ID1; the 1.6gig quantum is
the only other device on the chain at ID0; all term is impeccable).

is this drive incompat w/ freebsd?  

btw, linux installed ok from this exact same setup onto another box, but
I'd like to use fbsd instead.

appreciate any help or experience w/ this - thanks!
-mike
