I'm trying to install BSD onto my Pentium 90 with 2 separate Western Digital
1.2 Gig hard-drives (IDE) and a Goldstar IDE Cd-rom. During the install
process, the program doesn't even ask for my cd-rom. I haven't seen anywhere
in the documentation about the support of Goldstar cd-roms, but the manual
does say that it supports most ide cd-roms. (my cd-rom came through the
Diamond mm 4000 kit and I've taken the cd-rom off from the sound-card and
plugs directly into the IDE controller on the motherboard.) Does anyone have
any suggestions for install, besides doing it over a network cd-rom? 
Thanks
