Recently I purchased the new FreeBSD 2.1 CD-Rom distribution, and I try to install it over my FreeBSD 2.0.5. It works fine, but I have two little problems. The hardware is an 80486 machine with an IDE hard disk controller, two IDE hard disks, a Sound Blaster Card and a Mitsumi Cd-Rom drive Atapi connected to the sound card. This configuration works perfectly with WIndows '95. With FreeBSD 2.0.5 I was able to access the first and second hard disk units, but with 2.1, I have to connect the Cd-Rom unit to the HD controller instead of the sound card in order to make the cd work. 1st. question : What can I do for working with the two hard disks drives and the Atapi Cd-Rom unit ? 2st. question : It is possible to install Windows '95 in the first hard disk, FreeBSD in the second one, and a program from booting from W95 or UNIX ? Thanks a lot.
