Hi Bruce, Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately, the command didn't work and the help screen showed nothing similar. The help screen said that modules for proprietary controllers could not be loaded at boot, but only later. The problem is how can I load it later if it won't recognize the CD-ROM? I get through all the partitioning process fine, but when it comes to install the OS kernel and modules it can't get to them on the CD. Is there some way to get the needed files and modules onto floppy and install it from there? Thanks for your help!

The believe the syntax is: sonycd=<I/O port>,<irq> The default port is 0x320 (but check the interface to see where the jumpers are set) and irq is 0 (that is, no irq used). Check the help text (F1, F2, etc.) available through the first screen that comes up when you start the installation to make sure I have the syntax correct. - Bruce >>
