I am really confused. This is my first experience with installing FreeBSD.
I have looked in the hardware.txt file and see only three CDroms listed:
mcd0 Mitsumi CD-ROM
matcd0 Matsushita/Panasonic CD-ROM
scd0 Sony CD-ROM
Does this mean that these are the only scsi cdroms that can be recognized?
If so, where can I get one? If not, where do I find the config info on
other drives?
TIA, BettyB.
