Try to add the lines: options "CD9660" #ISO 9660 Filesystem . . . options ATAPI #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus device wcd0 #IDE CD-ROM and recompile the kernel. If this not works, you can try my modified "wd.c" from: "btp1da.phy.uni-bayreuth.de:/pub/FreeBSD/wdpatch/" Login as ftp, password your Email You can also use "http://btp1da.phy.uni-bayreuth.de/pub_ftp/". Hope this helps, Werner
