Hi ! I found a contradiction in your Doc, concerning Mitsumi's CD-ROM.

In the FAQ (http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/hardware.html#AEN1014), you can read
:


Q: Which CD-ROM drives are supported by FreeBSD?

A: Any SCSI drive connected to a supported controller is supported.
The following proprietary CD-ROM interfaces are also supported:
     Mitsumi LU002 (8bit), LU005 (16bit) and FX001D (16bit 2x Speed).
     Sony CDU 31/33A
     Sound Blaster Non-SCSI CD-ROM
     Matsushita/Panasonic CD-ROM
     ATAPI compatible IDE CD-ROMs



In the handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install-hw.html), au
contraire, you find :


Unmaintained drivers, which might or might not work for your hardware:
     Floppy tape interface (Colorado/Mountain/Insight)
     mcd - Mitsumi proprietary CD-ROM interface (all models)

As you can imagine, I own a Mitsumi FX001D, and the kernel configuration
program does not detect it. So, I suppose the FAQs are wrong.

Thank you for answering,

Elvio
