Date: Sun, 28 Jan 96 16:05:34 GMT Organization: Pacific Information eXchange, Inc. Lines: 24 Message-ID: <4egohe$jm@rigel.pixi.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: mothra00.pixi.com X-Newsreader: News Xpress Version 1.0 Beta #4 I recently purchased (for the CD ROM Player) a sound card SCSI package to use for a FreeBSD machine I wanted to put up. The Sound Card is a Smart & Friendly Multimedia package with a Future Domain SCSI port for the SCSI CD ROM I had hoped to at least get the CD ROM working in FreeBSD because the Future Domain cards were supported and because the Multimedia package was cheaper than buying a SCSI CD ROM by itself (Purchased from a Store going out of Business so very Cheap) and I would get a SCSI card with the CD ROM. I would like to try as much as possible to get the card to work rather than purchasing another SCSI card to make it work. First of all I don't know what Model of Future Domain SCSI Card it is supposed to be incorporated into the Sound card and I don't even know if the sound portion of the card will work with the OS. I'm not too concerned if the sound doesn't work but I'd like the SCSI CD ROM to work. Here's what I tried to do so far... I started the Install from (Walnut Creek CD of FreeBSD) from the CD ROM. The install went fine until it had to access the CD ROM for the ROOT Disk install portion where it tried to look for the CD on the SCSI card it couldn't be found so I used a Root Floppy disk and it installed okay BUT I can't access the CD and I really would like to to add other stuff into it (once I figure how) from the CD. Any help would be appreciated THANKS!!!
