Mine cannot, I had to do some patch & try and error the source code. Your problem is, The kernel that installed from the cdrom is a GENERIC kernel, that do not enable the options ATAPI and device wcd0. So after you have installed from cdrom, you need to reconfigure the kernel. Read the freebsd handbook for detail. #cd /sys/i386/conf #cp GENERIC ATAPI ; do not edit the original one #vi ATAPI ; edit the new kernel and add the controller wdc1 .... ; don't forget to uncommented device wd2 options ATAPI device wcd0 #config ATAPI ; #cd /sys/compile/ATAPI #make #mv /kernel /kernel.org ; save the original kernel #mv kernel /kernel #cd /dev #./MAKEDEV wcd0 ; don't forget to make the device #fastboot ; if you fail booting from the new kernel ; boot from kernel.org regards & good luck Bambang Sugiantoro bambang@unipro.co.id
