Hi,

  I  really need your  help to  install the  FreeBSD-2.1  (from Walnut
Creek)  on  my  computer   correctly/completely.  The features  of  my
computer is as follows:

	Processor: Pentium-166
	Motherboard: Endeavor II with Triton Chipset
	RAM: 32 EDO 60ns
	Hard-drive: 2.1 GB EIDE from Seagate
	CD-drive: 6x IDE from TEAC
	Graphics: Diamond Stealth-64 Video VRAM (model 3400 XL) 4 MB
	Monitor: CTX 1785GMe (1600x1280)

I tried to install the Unix  system five times,  but since I got a IDE
system I am not able to  install the package completely. For instance,
I am not able to mount the "cdrom" and also I am not able to build the
tools in the "/usr/ports" directory as  it is instructed by the manual
(typing  "make" in every  sub-directory).  I have   heard all the  IDE
systems are supported in the current  version of FreeBSD (2.1), but it
seems something  is wrong with my own.  It will be greatly appreciated
if you  kindly  direct me   to the  complete installation  of  my Unix
system.

Thanks,

Kazem.
