Ted,
Thanks very much for your reply. In fact I did build a custom kernel
with the following line in the configuration file:
device matcd0 at isa? port 0x230
but the device still isn't coming up. I found this configuration
line in the LINT file, but I must admit that I don't understand
the syntax of it. Given the bootup error message
ata1-master: <MATSHITA cr-581/1c05> CDROM device - NO DRIVER!
should I change the port address to 1c05? I feel pretty dumb. Also,
in the Lehey book, p. 361, the matcd0 configuration line is shown as follows:
controller matcd0 at isa? port 0x230 bio
and I don't know what to think of "controller" versus "device" or the
"bio" at the end.
Regards,
Ralph Dratman
