Date: Sat, 15 Jun 96 13:49:03 GMT Organization: What? Me, organize? Lines: 15 Message-ID: <4puf0f$240_010@mypc.neosoft.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 206.27.165.140 X-Newsreader: News Xpress 2.0 Beta #1 Trying to install FreeBSD 2.1 from the Walnut Creek CD-ROM, but not getting anywhere with it. My CD-ROM is not one of the recognized types (it's an ACER CD-747e/HAS, IDE, master). Tried the IDE installation, it scans my CD-ROM as a second wd device and then hangs right at the point where the installer should be coming up. Called HP to see how I might change my CD-ROM configuration to slave instead of master. No luck. Any ideas, anyone (other than replacing the drive)?
