Dear FreeBSD, Re: Walnut Creek CD 2.1.5 August, 1996. It seems I have an NEC_IDE CD ROM. Therefore, I am a candidate for your alpha test atapi support. I have at least 3 questions. 1. Where can I find atapi.flp ? It is not on my CD from Walnut Creek, and it is not at a couple of your ftp sites that I have looked at. 2. How do I jumper my CD rom drive as a slave? 3. Is this why my boot floppy just goes into an error loop? Soon after the boot: appears, it just goes Error C:0 H:0 S:0 over and over. 4. I tried to set up to install from a DOS partition, using xcopies of files from the CD to the DOS drive, but an xcopy of the files in the packages\x11 directory just results in a bunch of files with 0 bytes in them. They look empty to the DOS dir command, also. The \bin directory files copied over OK, I think. I suppose the FAT on the CD could be lying about what's in the files. Either that or these files really are defective. Either way, it doesn't look good for my using the DOS partition method of installation. Wayne M. Barnes, Ph.D. fax: 314/362-7183 or 362-3350 Dept.
