I've been following a local Linux mailing list, and a couple of the
users there have been trying FreeBSD ('cos I'm giving a presentation on
it at a Linux user group meeting next month :-)
One of them has an SB16 with a CD-ROM drive. His attempts at installing
FreeBSD from that CD-ROM have met with abysmal failure:
$ Next came an install on my Pentium 60 (previously running Caldera-2.2)
$ - A total disaster.... no way despite 12 attempts to install, could I
$ get FreeBSD to actually initialise the sbpcd (freebsd calls it matcdc)
$ despite changing IO's, entering the manual configuration option etc
$ etc... it would not & could not, find the cdrom & so I had to abort the
$ install every time!!
Is the matcd driver known to work on FreeBSD 3.2 ? If not, does anyone
have any estimate of the amount of effort that'd be required to fix it?
