A few weeks ago I asked for help regarding mounting my CD-ROM - couldn't mount it, no matter what. I've narrowed it down (I think) to a IDE controller issue. Originally I had the following hardware config: Controller #1: 240M DOS HDD -> master 850M BSD HDD -> slave Controller #2 NEC CD-ROM changer -> master I was successfully using 'Uniload' to boot into either DOS or 3.3R. /var/run/dmesg.boot showed that the CD-ROM was being detected w/o any problems. However i simply could not mount the CD-ROM. I changed the hardware around yesterday as follows: Controller #1: 240M DOS HDD -> master NEC CD-ROM changer -> slave Controller #2: 850M BSD HDD -> master Results are that I can boot into DOS, but 'Uniload' fails to "see" the BSD HDD, which according to its docs, it's can do. As such, I'm wondering if there may be an issue with Controller #2, and/or whether a 486 mobo is able to even use a secondary IDE controller? If the above 2 questions are valid concerns, why would 3.3R be able to detect the controller and the CD-ROM in the first scenario above, albeit not be able to mount it? In a 2 controller, 2 HDD, 1 CD-ROM scenario, is there a prefered "hookup"?
