I just got FreeBSD 2.0.5 on a Walnut Creek CDROM. I have had lots of problems using the CDROM drive (SCSI 4x cdrom, Toshiba via an Adaptec 2940W controller) If the cd is mounted during boot, and ls of /cdrom hangs the computer. I got around this by commenting out the fstab entry and manually mounting it using /sbin/mount_cd9660 -r -o rdonly /dev/cd0a /cdrom. There are still problems, however. If I cd to /cdrom and 'more' a file, the system hangs. If I 'lndir' and then 'ls' a directory 'ls utils/*', the computer hangs. I'm a computer engineer (finishing dissertation), and although I don't know all the in's and out's of Unix or the PC's, I do have a reasonable background. I have also done device driver programming, etc. If there is a fix, I would be interested in it. If there is work that needs to be done to fix it, I would be willing to help. Second, I have an Intel Etherexpress PRO 100. It appears that there is no driver for it in FreeBSD. If there is and I missed it, please let me know. Otherwise, if there is additional info you have available and I could help write the driver for it, I would be willing to work on that as well. Thanks, Stuart Harris
