It's an IDE drive and is connected to a Soudblaster audio card. All other DOS programs recognize the drive at port 340. I have tried configuring the drives during the boo process using the "-c" command. Even after inputing port 340 into all the available CDRom devices listed, the probes are still not able to find the CDRom. 2) I also tried to install FreeBSD via ftp. After launching the "commit" command and pressing "<ALT><F3>" the following is returned: ppp ON> I thought I should have went right into the Terminal mode. Even after entering the word "term" after the above prompt I am not able to access the terminal window. Any help anone could give would be greatly appreciated.
