Hello !

Recently I purchased the new FreeBSD 2.1 CD-Rom distribution, and I try 
to install it over my FreeBSD 2.0.5. It works fine, but I have two 
little problems. The hardware is an 80486 machine with an IDE hard disk 
controller, two IDE hard disks, a Sound Blaster Card and a Mitsumi 
Cd-Rom drive Atapi connected to the sound card. This configuration works 
perfectly with WIndows '95.

With FreeBSD 2.0.5 I was able to access the first and second hard disk 
units, but with 2.1, I have to connect the Cd-Rom unit to the HD 
controller instead of the sound card in order to make the cd work.

1st. question : What can I do for working with the two hard disks 
drives and the Atapi Cd-Rom unit ?

2st. question : It is possible to install Windows '95 in the first hard 
disk, FreeBSD in the second one, and a program from booting from W95 or 
UNIX ?

Thanks a lot.
