I tried `atapi.flp', but its kernel doesn't even contain a wcd0 device. I type '-c', then 'visual', and neither of the active or inactive lists contains a `wcd0'. It loads the setup program fine (i.e. doesn't hang at the end of boot), but starts complaining as soon as I select `CD' for installation source media. The disc (BTW, it's a BSDisc from InfoMagic) also talks about another disk (something with `ide' in it), but that's not included. I suspect InfoMagic deleted quite a few things to fit everything on to 2 CDs. -- Annius V.
