Press return to make another attempt at finding the cdrom drive. Needless to say that the cd is in the drive, and the drive is ready (the 'busy' light is off). Also, during the boot-sequence of the FreeBSD kernel, the drive's light goes on and off, so it _is_ being 'probed' (?) by the kernel ? I have tried using the 'kcopy-ah' boot-image, the 'cdins' (? can't remember the exact name anymore, the cd is at home) boot-image, and a boot-image that I found at an ftp site (again, can't remember the exact name of the site or of the image, it's been awhile since i did this and i have almost given up out of sheer frustration ;-( I have the impression that this last boot-image is the 'best', that is, I can't remember seeing the "mcd0: Adjusted for newer drive model" message appearing in any of the other boot-images. Any help appreciated (especially the name of the 'special boot- diskette' specific to the fx001d which you mentioned ?), Florimon van Putte (email: florimon@sybase.com)
