---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: 17 May 96 09:06:09 -0400 From: Ralph.Thomas@chembank.com To: support@cdrom.com Subject: FreeBSD - HELP !! I have some questions about a new FreeBSD install. 1. I followed the directions in the book to add the CDROM support to the KERNEL and regened and booted. After I boot, I cannot mount /cdrom. However, if I boot off of the KERNEL.ATAPI I can access the CDROM. Is there something else, other than adding "controller wcd0" to the kernel source ??? Just for info, the CDROM is hung off a secondary leg on the IDE controller with no other devices. 2. The /stand/sysinstall program will not let me install packages from the CDROM (with the kernel.atapi). It says that the device is not gened. But I can mount the cdrom and LS it ??? Also PKG_ADD works. Is there something I'm doing wrong?? 3. Is the net address questions@FreeBSD.org available ?? I get my mail returned. Are there any other resources for help ?? Thanks for your help.....
