Sutton Sportswear Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello there, I've asked this question over the newsgroups quite a few times, but have yet to get a real answer. Is there anyone out there who is currently working on CDROM problems? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I haven't been able to install from the cdrom. I had to make up a load of floppies and install the basic system that way. Would you have any idea how I would go about configuring the cdrom after I've installed the system? I have a NEC 2x cdrom (CDR-260) it's an IDE of course. The funny this is that I can't figure out how to get it setup under boot: -c verbose. The computer finds a secondary IDE controller at wdc1 and port 260 irq 15. As far as I know this actually is the cdrom! Ever if I remove it I can not get the cdrom to be recognized at that adress and I'm sure that irq 15 & port 260 are correct. Can you suggest anything? Kenny
