hello, i'm trying to get freebsd 4.0 onto my sony vaio. (505TX) in linux, to get the cdrom to be recognized, i need to pass some parameters to the kernel at boot time: linux ide2=0x180,0x386 how would one go about doing that at freebsd boot? essentially, the cdrom will boot just fine, get to the install, but not see and cdrom drives. from what i understand of the vaio boot process, the cdrom drive gets initialized at boot time as an ide controller, not a pcmcia card. but it's a non standard ide controller (ide2... third ide controller?) and the memory addresses are off too. so, can i pass this information to the kernel during install, so i can install from CD? i can do a net install, but that's not nearly as interesting :) please cc: brian@us.ncipher.com on any answers, since i don't check this list all that often. brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
