I have FreeBSD 1.0 and a SoundBlaster SCSI-2 with a Toshiba 3401 internal
CD ROM drive (200ms, 330 kb/s).  I use whatever that program is to make a boot
floppy, using the first file, that says use if you have an IDE HD, which I do.

Then, when I boot with the floppy, it gives me the message that it can't find
a CD ROM drive.  All my Windows and DOS files can use the drive fine, but
FreeBSD seems to think it's not there.

Could someone help me out on this?

Thanks,
Charles
