Did you also copy the *.inf files to the proper directories? . Were there any errors? Check the debug console by pressing ALT-F2. > Oh ya, now i can't access the slave in dos, and it doesn't show up anywhere, > and now when i type a cmd in DOS, it tries to read of the CD!! crazy eh? I don't know. You shouldn't be able to access the slave since it's no longer a DOS parttion, it belongs to FreeBSD now. Have you tried getting your CDROM working with FreeBSD? The default boot.flp does support ATAPI CDROMs. Try moving your CD to the slave position on the primary controller if the boot isn't finding it.
