I have just purchased FreeBSD cdrom disk - which arrived in record
time. However, my Pentium machine has  Aztech drive not one of the
supported types.

when I run the boot disk/install process I get a cdrom not found etc

Is there any thing I can do to trick - temporarily or permanently
freeBSD into thinking that my CDA 268-03I SE is a supported one?

Does anyone know what the differences are between the different CDROM
drives that make the supported or not

thanks in advance
