FreeBSD 2.0Release, does not support it at all(ie it supports the sound card but not the CD_ROM). You can get the FreeBSD snap of the ftp.cdrom.com, but I don't think they released it on CD_ROM. They will release 2.0.5 soon which should support SoundBloster CD_ROM. I would sugest you to call Walnut Creek and talk to tek. support people, they will tel you for sure if they relesed the CD you looking for, and if not , they will tell you when to expect it. Good luck:)
