I have been unsuccessful in my install attempts at BSD. I am using a
386/40 (co-p installed), with the single most popular CD-ROM drive in the
world for PC's: the sony drive. ya know, that one that came with
soundblaster.
Anyway. I had a SNAP at one point that would read the sony CD, but could
not find the bindist, so I dropped into shell ad did it manually. The
snap was 130495. Worked well. Then the drive was used on an NT machine,
and was wiped. Now, the only snap capable of reading Sony cd's for 2.0
is no longer in any FTP site.
Anyone have any ideas? Email me here or at manson@paranoia.com.
