Date: 26 Sep 1994 23:47:02 -0500 Organization: WorldWide Access - Chicago Area Internet Services 312-282-8605 708-367-1871 Lines: 21 Message-ID: <368846$12d@sashimi.wwa.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: sashimi.wwa.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I've got the Walnut Creek version of FreeBSD 1.1, and I'm attempting to install on a 486DX-50 using an Adapatec AHA-1542C SCSI controller, and a NEC 3XE Multispin CD-ROM drive. I've created the boot floppy with RAWRITE using the cdins_ah.flp boot image just fine. The system seems to boot fine, getting as far as welcoming me to FreeBSD, but then shorly thereafter, I get the following message: No cdrom drive found, are you sure the cd is in the drive and the drive is ready? Press return to make another attempt at finding the cdrom drive. Hitting return of course redisplays the same message. Is there some trick to installing FreeBSD with this hardware setup? Other hardware in the machine, is an SMC Elite Ultra ethernet card, SoundBlaster 16 ASP sound card, an MPU-401 compatible midi card, a Gravis Eliminator dual joystick card, a 2-port serial card with 16550AFN and 16450 UART's, and a Diamond Stealth Pro (VLB) video card. I'm simply trying to install FreeBSD on this machine to evaluate it. stigmata@wwa.com
