I am installing Freebsd v. 2.0.5 on my DX66 with a 120 meg HD, and a Toshiba IDE CDROM , both attatched to a DTC EIDE controller. Teh The HD is an port one and the CDROM is on port 2 of the controller card. i followed hte install instructins and xcopied the appropriate files to my DOS drive, created a boot floppy, rebooted the system and started the installation process. When I got to the point where I neede to select the media type, I got a mesage telling me that it did not recognize a CDROM device. From what I gather, I need to modify the kernel to tell it where the cdrom is located. how do I go about doing this? I would prefer to be able to install from CDROm rather than froma DOS partition. Thanks for any help. Chris campagna@umd5.umd.edu
