No, a properly installed IDE CDROM should be found by either kernel. What are the answers to these questions: 1) Are you booting from floppy? From the CDROM? 2) Are you disabling the second IDE controller in the kernel config? 3) Is the CDROM detected during the kernel's hardware probes? 4) Is the FreeBSD CD in the drive when you go to the media selection? Was the CD in the drive during the boot? 5) Is the CDROM offered as a choice at the media selection? -- Crist J.
