I have heard that the ATAPI boot image is set up for the CD to be on the secondary IDE bus, as master. If this is the case, is there a way, with boot -c or something, to set it for Primary IDE, Slave? I have looked in /cdrom1/*.TXT and /cdrom2/doc/* and found almost no information pertaining specifically to the ATAPI support. (Fortunately, "atapi" is pretty unique, because grepping for "-i ide" gets provide(s), side(s), and idea(s)... :-) In fact, I have found almost nothing on ATAPI support: how it is configured or what options there may be. Am I looking in the wrong place? If so, where is the right place? I have a geographically-distant friend who is trying to load FreeBSD on a new Gateway box with Win95 pre-loaded. The CD worked fine under Win95, but the atapi boot image doesn't find it. Thanks for any and all help!
