Make sure you have the right master/slave settings on your IDE devices. If your CD-ROM drive is by itself on an IDE controller, it must be the master. This is normally controlled by jumpers on the drive. Charles P.S. Other operating systems tolerate this. FreeBSD does not. That's another discussion, please don't start a holy war here. -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Robert Herrmann [mailto:jrh2@cec.wustl.edu] Sent: Thursday, September 02, 1999 11:44 AM To: FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: FreeBSD can't see my CD-ROM drive Please help! When I try to install FreeBSD from CD it says CD-ROM not found or something to that effect. Im am using a BTC model BCD 40XH drive which uses an ATAPI-IDE interface. Is this device supported, and if so what can I do to get this to work? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
