I have on my system (486DX/4 120, 20MB RAM, 2 EIDE HD, SVGA) "NEC MultiSpin 4V" CDROM drive installed on secondary EIDE controller, it's work propertly with MSDOS, WIN'95, WIN-NT and LINUX. When I try install FreeBSD, the kernel recognize my secondary controler, but don't recognize my CDROM drive (the CD is inside the drive). I know, I could install from one of FAT partitions, but I don't have there room for copy FreeBSD instalation files and I don't have a tape drive for make big backup from my files what I could temporary remove. Please give me some suggestions, I have 0 expirience with FreeBSD. Thanks, Andre
