No you cannot have TWO masters or TWO slaves on the same interface! One must be master the other must be slave! Lets see if I can clearify myself without makeing it worse. :) I know that the original question involved 1 HD and 1 ATAPI CD. So the working solution should be: wd0: HD master CD slave And rip the secondary IDE controller out. (What I would of done in the first place!) My questions now are: wd0: HD master HD slave wd1: CD master Does this work anyone? (not revelant to original question) Or MUST it be wd0: HD master CD slave wd1: HD master (Not revelant to original question) I am not sure but I belive I read here in -questions that as long as you do actually have a slave on wd0 that a ATAPI cd will work on wd1 as master. Am I wrong?? (Not revelant to original question) It only fails if you _don't_ have a slave on wd0 and try to hook up an ATAPI cd on wd1 as master. (Revelant to original question) Thus: wd0: HD master HD slave wd1: CD master Works?? (not revelant to original question) or wd0: HD master CD slave works. (known) (revelant to the original question) And wd0: HD master wd1: CD master fails. (known) (revelant to the original question) Is this in fact how it is with FreeBSD 2.1r??? I'm sure that 2.1.5 will have this solved??? I don't have an ATAPI cd (I use SCSI) and would like very much to clear this up in my own head so I don't confuse those that I am trying to assist.. Thaks all. -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge... Share yours The Borg... Where minds meet (207) 929-3848
