One of them is the Compaq Presario 2110 = that I currently have FreeBSD running on because it is the only computer = using FAT16.... (usually anyway) The other is a Mitsibushi Apricot, I = decided to try and install FreeBSD on an old drive which I had lying = about as I always do, bits of PC' here, there and everywhere. The drive = is a measly 327Mb, the Primary drive is a 2Gb drive but runs on FAT32. When I tried installing FreeBSD on the Compaq It worked no problem, it = has 32Mb RAM and an 8x CD-ROM. When I tried installing on the Apricot = which has 48Mb RAM and a 24x CD-ROM it start OK when booting from floppy = but after setting up the partition info on the drives it tells me it = can't find the CD-ROM drive, it is either unsupported or not = present...... I think it's a 'Vuego 24x MAX' It won't install over a DOS = Partition either because of the FAT32. =20 Help Me....
