Hi there,

I'm currently installing FreeBSD on a Pentium 100 with a panasonic CD-ROM drive.
when running fbsdboot -D kernel the CD-ROM drive is not recognized, but it
is recognized when I run fbsdboot -c -D kernel and change the adress to
0x300.

But when I commit the installation, I get an error: 

Error mounting matcd0a on /cdrom: Invalid argument (22)

and after that

Failed to  load the root distribution. Please correct this problem and try
again.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem??

Thanx
Casper

P.S I'm trying to install freeBSD on a machine which has WIN95 on an other
partition.
