Hi,
I just got the Walnut Creek FreeBSD 2.1 CD set and tried to install
using the atapi boot. The CDROM drive is not found and I would like to
know if anyone has had success with my brand: Toshiba XM-5302B - the
drive is on the secondary controller and jumpered as master. I changed
the jumper setting to slave and this did not work, either. Linux needs
the drive to be jumpered master. There are a couple of jumpers on the
drive and so perhaps there is something else one can change ? With the
nice situation in computers these days, you never get any documentation
or manuals anymore, so I have no idea what the second jumper is for.
anyway, if anyone has had success with the Toshiba CD drive, I would
appreciate knowing what your settings are.
Thanks,
Dirk
