Steele) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: Help: FreeBSD not recognizing SCSI CD-ROM Date: Thu, 05 Jan 1995 10:03:59 -0500 Organization: Express Access Online Communications, USA Lines: 19 Message-ID: <jsteele-0501951003590001@chrf2.gdn.org> NNTP-Posting-Host: chrf2.gdn.org After playing around with Linux for several months, I thought I'd give FreeBSD a spin. However, while trying to install FreeBSD from a CD-ROM, I cannot get the kernel on the boot disk to recognize my cdrom. The drive is a media vision scsi drive running off a sound card. The scsi driver is a Future Domain 8xx which is supposed to be supported by FreeBSD. When I do the kernel -c option during boot up, I don't see /dev/cd0a listed among the devices. Then, when I run the setup program, I get a message saying that /dev/cd0a does not exist or something. However, a ls of /dev shows that there is a cd0a in theres. Any suggestions about what to do? All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jeff -- Jeffrey V. Steele -- jsteele@access.digex.net -- finger for PGP Public Key
