Hi,

I'm trying to get 2.2.1 to install from a Goldstar 8x CD-ROM drive
which is connected via the IDE interface on a Creative Labs Soundblaster
AWE 32 card...with very little success.

I've previously run FreeBSD 2.1.0, but was never able to get the o/s
to see the drive connected in this manner either...

Is this possible ? Or am I just going to have to put the CD drive on
one of my motherboard's (already full) IDE interfaces ?

Please mail me at : Mark.Jones@simple.demon.co.uk

Thanks in advance.

Mark.
