OK, I made a DOS boot disk to load my CD drivers. It says: ATAPI IDE CD-ROM device driver version V1.50 (12/11/1995) Coptright(c) MITSUMI ELECTRIC CO.,LTD. 1994,1995 1 drive(s) detected unit 0, SLAVE, IRQ 15, I/O address 0x0170 A:\>mscdex.exe /d:cdrom /m:15 /l:d MSCDEX Version 2.23 Copyright(c) Microsoft Corp. 1986-1993. All rights reserved. Drive D: = Driver CDROM unit 0 I then go to drive d, the cd drive. I run view. I select the install.bat option. It starts the install. All that is says in the boot regarding my cd drive is: . . . wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa . . . Then I select novice installation, go through the partition stuff, and select cdrom as the installation media. It says "Message: No CD ROM devices found!..." (Yes, it does say this after booting from a CD drive.) So, it seems to me that DOS is finding my CD drive fine, FreeBSD is finding my drive as device wdc1, and the sysinstall will not recognise it. Now what?? Thanks a whole lot for all the help. I would be even more lost without it. : - ) J --0-1027521524-840410926=:23387--
