I have been running FreeBSD for almost a year now. I bought the Walnut Creek 2.1.5 version (dated August 1996). I now have 2.1.6 also. My problem is that I had my Mitsumi 4X CD crap out and I replaced it with a Goldstar 16X. Now I cannot get either version of FreeBSD to recognize the drive. I run System Commander so I can run multiple operating systems on one machine. OS2 Warp, Win95, Dos 6.22, and Linux are all installed and work flawlessly with the goldstar. I have tried several of the cd drivers in the standard kernel with no luck. Could you please either tell me how to solve the problem, or point me to somewhere to find the info. I am an engineer and can do some programming, but my unix skills are limited, but I want to compile myself a custom kernel to solve my problems. Below is a listing of the hardware in my system. Pentium -90 PCI motherboard Diamond Stealth Video 2001 3Com Etherlink III (isa) 16 bit network card 1.44 floppy Jumbo 250 tape drive (floppy cable driven) US Robotics 56K sportster Western Digital 3.1Gig EIDE Conner 340 meg ide Thanks for any help you can give me. My son in law and I both have the goldstar drives and we are both at a loss of how to get them to work. Thanks again.
