I can't mount CD-ROM( E-IDE type) There's not much chances except of upgrading to a newer version. You might want to pick up the bootfloppy of a newer SNAP, just to see whether it will recognize your drive. If this works, you've got two possibilities: install such a SNAP, which might cause you some problems because SNAPs are not releases, but beta-quality offspin `products' from the normal development cycle. Or, if you hesitate this but are patient enough, wait another couple of months in the hope that FreeBSD 2.2 will be ready then. This is our #1 goal these days... i'm just cutting a pre-release on my machine (something like a private `alpha' version). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
