Hey guys,
I'm installing FreeBSD for the first time. I've installed Linux
a number of times, so I think I have the hang of weird installs. The
install doesn't recognize my cdrom. It's on the wrong address. Rather
than opening up my computer, reconfiguring my cdrom, changing Linux,
Windows NT and Windows 95, is there a way to specify the address on the
boot command?
I'm using the FreeBSD cd from Walnut Creek using a SoundBlaster CD-ROM.
To install, I type "view". I imagine the proper command line for this
would be:
fbsdboot -D kernel -X xxxxx
replace the Xx's with the proper argument.
But I haven't found any docs on fbsdboot.
A FM to RT or a simple answer would be greatly appreciated.
