I've installed FreeBSD 2.0.5 from a DOS partition and it runs fine. Now I'd like to be able to use my IDE ATAPI CD-ROM (without having to buy 2.1.0 if possible). I understand that a (at least experimental) driver exists - is this correct? If so, where exactly can I find it? (I looked into ftp.freebsd.org, but the /drive and /drivers directory didn't seem to contain such a driver, judging by the file names.) How would I have to install this ? (I'm a Newbie, of course :-) Thank you very much in advance! Bye, Philipp -- -------------------------------------------+ P.
