Hello.
I have to install a FreeBSD system on a PCI Pentium/133, 32 Mbyte RAM,
HD 1.2 Gbyte and a Hitachi CD-ROM ATAPI.
The release that I have installad is 2.1.5-stable (from mirror
www.se.FreeBSD.org at August 6 1996).
The problem is the CD-ROM. It is set as Master into the second IDE
controller with the hard drive set as Master into the first IDE
controller.
When start (with a CD into the unit) the initial hardware test
show:

---------------------------------------------------
So it find correctly two units.
(NB.
If CD-ROM do not set as Master in second IDE it missing from
the probe log.
If it is set as Salve in first IDE the system do not boot at all.
It don't find any bootable units.)
When from root's shell I type:
mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /mnt
the system relply:
cd9660: /dev/wcd0c: Device not configured
Do you have any brilliant suggestions that may aid me in my
search for the perfectly functional FreeBSD system?
I would appreciate any comments that you could email to me.
