On a system running win95 and  FreeBSD 2.1 on
	Gateway 2000
	486 dx2 66
	32M RAM
	1089 M ( Quantum FireBall 1080 IDE )
	CDROM (NCR 260) (ATAPI)

I have the following problems:
 
1.  Kernel is recompiled to support psm mouse.
    "cat < /dev/psm0"
    stdin resource temporarily unavailable. (something like that)
    ( Although I can use the mouse, I would like to know why ? )
       
2.  FreeBSD detects the size of harddisk to be only 1039 rather than 1089.

3.  ATAPI kernel detects the CDROM and hangs after few accesses.

4.  I can mount Win95 partition but i cannot access the files on the dos/win95 partition.
    Even directory listing would result in system failure after few accesses.

Would appreciate any help/suggestions.

Thank you
