It is supposed to detect it there itself. If it doesn't, you need a CD-ROM drive that's more ATAPI-compliant, or might try to see whether upgrading to FreeBSD 2.2(-BETA by now) would fix your troubles. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
