Hi,

I am trying to install freebsd on my pentium 100 but it won't recognize my
cdrom (which works well under win95 and redhat linux 6.0).  During the
installation I get the following error message (seen in the scroll-lock
mode):

ata0-master: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 compliant cable
ad0: 6149 MB <QUANTUM FIREBALL CX6.4A> [13328/15/63] at ata0-master WDMA2
ata0-slave: <..lots of garbage characters...> unknown device-NO DRIVER !

Then I get the error message 'No CD-ROM device found" when I try to go
further during the installation.

This is for FreeBSD release 4.2 (the version that comes in 4-cdroms with
the book).

If this can help, in Win95 the boot message says:
 ATAPI/IDE CDROM device driver 4.0 Jan 1998
and under Redhat linux 6.0 the boot-up message says:
0x1f0-0x1f7  ide0 irq14
hdb: LTN382 ATAPI cdrom drive 40X  (and the cdrom works fine)

(this is indeed a 40X cdrom drive).

Is there any way to fix this problem?  I was trying the UserConfig with
the minimum number of devices, and kept the two ATAPI options (ata0 and
ata1) because I figured one would be the hard disk and the other one the
cdrom- all other options are SCSI's, which my computer doesn't have.

I would appreciate any tips or suggestions,
Louis.
