I think the CD-ROM is not the problem. The problem is that FreeBSD cannot find the IDE controller at all. Looking for the devices on that controller would be next step if the controlled was found, wouldn't be? Even if I disconnected the CDROM from the IDE connector the error message was the same. On the other hand Win NT had no problem to find all devices including the CD-ROM. > > wdc0 not found at 0x1f0 > > Is this controller enabled in BIOS setup and is your cabling & jumpers set > correctly?

Today I asked my vendor what type of the motherbord is in the PC. It is Intel Rosewood RC440 SX. Any idea is still welcome.
