Any assistance would be appreciated. I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.1.6
from CD-ROM on my IBM ThinkPad 755CD. The CD ROM is FRU P/N 85G1914, ASM
P/N 84G6361 -- In MS-DOS mscdex the driver is listed as TPCD001.
I haven't been able to get the FreeBSD install to recognize the CD-ROM
drive and although I've been able to get a partial install by copying the
directories to the MS-DOS partition, I would like to be able to both
install from and use the CD-ROM drive.
I'm hoping that there's something simple that I've not done - has anyone
installed under similar situations? Again, all help greatly appreciated.
