I'm having a problem installing freeBSD 2.0. I've managed to partition my drive, assign the / and /usr partitions and install the boot manager and boot from the hard drive. When I go to install the rest of the software from the cd I get an error message - "unable to mount cd0a". I've booted using kernel -c, and tried many variations of configuring my CDROM, but none seem to work. I have a TEAC SCSI cdrom controlled by a Future Domain 950 series controller. I understand that this controller is recognized as the sea0 controller, but when I configure that one (to iomem ca000, irq5, port 330) my boot message is "sea0 not found". I dropped into a shell and looked in the /dev directory, and the only cd devices I can see are the mitsumi - mcd0 and mcd1. I don't even see a cd0a or cd1a. I don't have enough uncompressed hard drive space to copy to a hard drive and mount from there, though I can mount my floppy drive fairly easily. Am I missing the correct drivers? Can you help me? tx. David
