As far as I know FreeBSD 2.0 doesn't support ATAPI standard. This was done in FreeBSD-current and it's now perhaps in FreeBSD 2.1 and FreeBSD 2.1-stable... I recommend you to upgrade to 2.1 or even get the newest snapshot of FreeBSD 2.2 from ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeSBD/....SNAP/... >If I transfer all files to first disk in a dos partition, that would >solve my problem of CD ROM, but how can I do it? And how I can instruct >that the /dos directory should be located on another disk? Perhaps the problems vanish, if you get the newest snapshot of FreeBSD. If you need it on CD-Rom, then ask Jordan Hubbard, if the new Developer CD's contain the snapshots ...
