With a little hacking you can get it working now. Get ftp://freebsd.cdrom.com/incoming/wcd11.tgz and follow the instructions. Eventually I would be willing to send you a precompiled kernel when you send me your kernel CONFIG file (w/o the IDE CDROM). > > Does anybody have a clue? > > Thanks a lot. > > By the way, while I'm at it, how do I start X Windows? put /usr/X11R6/bin into your path (.cshrc/.profile), rehash (if you're running [t]csh), and type startx (provided you have gone through a xf86config dialog or set up your /etc/XF86Config (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ XF86Config) otherwise. If X works you may alternatively put /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -daemon into your /etc/rc.local and put your individual .xsession in your home-dir.
