To what controller is your CDROM attached? Is it set master/single or > slave? I tried both master and single. Slave for a single device doesn't look right. Attaching the CD-ROM to ``the other'' controller (not the one it was plugged in to when it came) then led to kernel not detecting any IDE controllers. > 2. Why not use a SCSI CDROM? It's much more reliable than the cheap IDE > ones floating around, and you already have the SCSI controller. Because that's how the system came and CD-ROM is only needed for things like installation of packages and disaster recovery. --Stanislav To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
