It may well do, but I would recommend waiting for 2.1.5 (due out next week). The support for IDE CDROMs will be considerably better then in 2.0.5 (if indeed 2.0.5 even supported IDE CDROMs - I can't remember offhand), although unfortunately still only in alpha. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/
