I do however have a Panasonic CR563 CDRom player that works well under Dos and Linux. I now noticed that the latest SNAP's (I tried SNAP-950412) has support for this CDrom Player so I decided to try to install FreeBSD. I could not find any documentation on it so far... When I boot from my harddisk probing is done on FFFF, so I played around with the kernel -c option. The drive is then detected after setting the correct port address. When I try to mount the drive (from sysinstall) I get kernel page faults. Under Linux and dos I must tell the drivers that the drive is on a Lasermate type of interface. I guess that I would have to tell the FreeBSD driver the same thing, right? If so, how do I go about doing that? If not, what stupic mistakes did I make and what should I have read? Cheers, Louis
