Are you certain that the drive is Matsuhita? Why did you "choose" Matsushita? Run the boot disc one time and read the messages as it boots. If dmesg tells you it found a cdrom on wdc0 (or 1) then this drive is ATAPI. Make note of what dmesg tells you about your cdrom when your system boots. If the drive says ATAPI or IDE any where on it, or is connected to your IDE port, then you need ATAPI support. Read the LINT file mentioned below. If the drive is in fact Matshushita then read '/usr/sys/i386/conf/LINT' for how to include this support in your kernel. The kernel requires a specific driver for Matsuhita drive.
