Date: 25 Mar 97 12:05:15 GMT Organization: University of Massachusetts, Amherst Lines: 14 Message-ID: <3337bf7b.0@news.oit.umass.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: robby.oit.umass.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 950824BETA PL0] Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:37805 First excuse newcomer ignorance. Perhaps this question is answered in the documentation and I haven't found it, or I may have read it without recognizing it as the answer. I'm having reasonable success with getting FreeBSD on my pentium laptop, but can't figure out how to make it mount an external CD-ROM at a PCMCIA slot. Any suggestions? Also, just out of curiousity, it seems to me that the hard disk makes less noise when running FreeBSD than when running Windows 95-- less cranking up and shutting down. Is it just my imagination or is there some reason for this. Thanks a lot.
