The FreeBSD CD-ROM from Walnut Creek CD-ROM was not able to be used, even though the install.bat file could see the CD-ROM - so I have been forced to do a ftp network install, which worked. The problem is, I still want to access my CD-ROM. I used the ATAPI.FLP disk and still no luck on accessing the CD-ROM. Can anyone tell me how to mount an IDE CD-ROM onto a working FreeBSD 2.1 system? (There appears to be no device for IDE CD-ROMS in FreeBSD). I already tried mount_9660 and no luck. It appears that I am not the only one with a lot of difficulty with CD-ROMS on FreeBSD... Send me a cc: email in response to this message as I need this information ASAP. Thanks, Charles webguy@job-link.com
