I'm running FreeBSD 2.1 on a 486/66 with VLB video board and ISA everything else, including a Adaptec 1542CP SCSI card with IBM 0662 hard drive (the main drive at ID 0) and Toshiba CD-ROM drive at ID 2. My SCSI devices are all setup properly, my bus is terminated at both ends, and everything is otherwise happy. System works great in DOS/Windows, OS/2, and Linux. Why does FreeBSD print "not ready", etc. for my CD-ROM, as evidenced by the following extract from dmesg: aha0 at 0x330-0x333 irq 11 drq 5 on isa (aha0:0:0): "IBM 0662S12 !O 2 23" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(aha0:0:0): Direct-Access 1003MB (2055035 512 byte sectors) sd0(aha0:0:0): with 4119 cyls, 5 heads, and an average 99 sectors/track (aha0:1:0): "SyQuest SQ3105S 2_10" type 0 removable SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 105MB (215440 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 2060 cyls, 2 heads, and an average 52 sectors/track (aha0:2:0): "TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-3501TA 2694" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(aha0:2:0): CD-ROM cd0(aha0:2:0): NOT READY asc:4,1 cd0(aha0:2:0): Logical unit is in process of becoming ready can't get the size Despite these messages, though, the system works perfectly (including the CD-ROM). I always boot up with a CD-ROM stuck in the drive, if that makes a difference. I'm just curious why these messages are displayed, if they are an indication of something about to break, or if it's just one of those little quirks that people live with.
