Unless every system you want to install FreeBSD has an identical sound card with identical setups, I think you're stuck. Most sound cards with an IDE port require that port to be turned on/enabled dynamically. I doubt very much that different cards will have identical procedures. Using an IDE CDROM is easy enough -- boot with atapi.flp instead of boot.flp. But trying to include sound cards in the mix may not be worthwhile for installation purposes. -- Ken Are you interested in | byte-sized education | http://www.play-hookey.com over the Internet? |
