Hi All!

I've installed FreeBSD 2.0.5 from a DOS partition and it runs fine.
Now I'd like to be able to use my IDE ATAPI CD-ROM (without having to
buy 2.1.0 if possible). I understand that a (at least experimental) driver
exists - is this correct? If so, where exactly can I find it? (I looked
into ftp.freebsd.org, but the /drive and /drivers directory didn't seem to
contain such a driver, judging by the file names.) How would I have to
install this ? (I'm a Newbie, of course :-)

Thank you very much in advance!
Bye, Philipp
