Dear Gentlemen,

Iīve just installed FreeBSD 2.2.1 from a DOS partition.

I have an IDE (ATAPI?) CD-ROM: Creative CD-ROM Drive. Itīs installed via a
Sound Blaster card.

The documentation told me to make a boot floppy with FLOPPIES\ATAPI.FLP...
Whereīs that? Itīs not in my CD-ROM, and itīs not in the FreeBSD FTP
server. Well all I can say itīs not in FreeBSD 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 directories.

OK. The second point is that Iīm trying my FreeBSD already installed to
detect it. Well I understand MATCDC0 driver is for my CD-ROM... It canīt
detect it.

>From DOS it says itīs in PORT 168 and IRQ 10 (Creative DOS Driver 1.19).

Iīve tried (because of my Sound Blaster documentation):
1) Ports 0x168, 0x178 (0x10 more), with IRQs 10 and 11
2) Ports 0x1e8, 0x1f8 (0x10 more), with IRQs 11 and 12
3) Ports 0x170, 0x180 (0x10 more), with IRQ 15
4) Ports 0x1f0, 0x200 (0x10 more), with IRQs 14

Well, no way. FreeSD doesnīt like my CD-ROM drive.

What do you recommend me to do?

Thank you,

Ricardo Nunez
