Hi there Having had bsd 3.1 running fine for the last 2 years I wanted to install 4.2 on another machine. I notice in userconfig that there seems to be no ide controller. I am trying to use the very same cdrom with 4.2 that I have been using with 3.1 but things have changed. On 3.1 its IDE/ESDI/MFM compatible disk controller ata1 15 0x170 On 4.2 the closest I can find (there seems alot less options) is ATA/ATAPI compatible disk controller ata1 15 0x170 After using kernel.flp and mfsroot.flp the system finds some hardware (too fast to see what) then says probing but straight away jumps to the userconfig menu choices. Following thru to conclusion I get "old cdrom or not recognised by bsd" type message which says Im right out of luck it cant load my binaries.............. Im using a Samsung CDROM off the secondary IDE slot on board (CDROM set to slave). Release 4.2 has a different line up of userconfig storage options to 3.1 and 3.5. The first probe is too quick to be believed and the lack of settings have left me in a quandry. I have checked the mail archive for previously asked questions and have found none? Any help would really be appreciated - thanks Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
