I have FreeBSD 2.1 i have prev installed FreeBSD (via a dos partition) but i need to blow it away and start again. i was just wondering if it was at all possible to use my CDrom for the install - this time around ? I have tried the 'atapi' batchc file provided on the Walnut Creek CD but no go ? Have any mods been made which now make this possible ? If not, is my only option to purchase a SCSI card and SCSI CDRom ? Thanks in advance, Darren Edgerton.
