I have FreeBSD installed on a Pentium 120 Mhz box with 34 Meg RAM.
It's the second device on the IDE (the first is the HD). I installed it 
Ok from CD but after running it, the CDROM shows ( like /cdrom ) but 
there is no0thing under it.
I want to install some applications that came with FreeBSD Disk 1 and 2, 
but I don't know what I'm missing.
I guess I need to mount it, but how??? How do I install the applications 
afterwards?
Please post the instructions, so I can make it work...
Thank you

carlos
