I have a standard dual speed Creative labs CD-ROM/Soundblaster setup. Although the CD is Creative, it is still an IDE CD. I plug it into the second ide port on my Triton Motherboard. Has anybody installed freeBSD with this configuration? How did you do it? I would have thought that this CD would be really common. I used hdb, hdc and hdd for the CD. I assumed that hda and hdb are on the first ide port, and hdc and hdd are on the second, making my CD hdc. Or is it in order of devices, making hda my Hard drive, and hdb my CD? Thanks Scott Keene (could you cc an email reply to me as well? These groups are HUGE!) lourenco@deakin.edu.au
