Greetings,
I am trying to install 4.3BSD from a Mitsumi FX001D Double-Speed
CD-ROM drive with little success. I get the basic files onto my IDE drive
by copying the appropriate floppy images, but I can't get the system to
recognize the ROM drive. I would think that this drive would be supported
since it's popular (i.e. cheap and fast) but no luck. Yea, yea, I know, it's
an elementary question and should therefore be in a FAQ somewhere, but I can't
find a reference to the _double-speed_ variant of the Mitsumi drive.
If for no other reason than pity of the foolish and the ignorant, would
a learned member of the BSD cognoscenti please respond with either advice,
or at least the proper reference?
