Hello,

I'm a OS/2 user who wish to learn something about Unix, and so I bought
the 2.1.7 version of FreeBSD, and I installed it here, but I have some
questions, and ask for anyone's help.

1) I'm using a Creative 8x CD-ROM attached to my mother-board IDE (not
on SB). Is that possible to make it recognizable by the OS?

2) I have a Genius plug-n-play mouse, and I'm having problems running
X-Window, the system ask for a mouse device to work. I configured as a
serial mouse, but still doesn't work...

Well, I will appreciate any kind of help.

Thanks,
