Hello, Some time ago I wrote about my problems mounting the cdrom on my FreeBSD 4.2 system. I have taken a long time getting round to this. Chia an wrote suggesting that I look in /etc/fstab to see that the cdrom file system exists: it does. Also suggested I do: sh MAKEDEV acd0c which I tried but to no avail. I think I have to put out a lot more information if anyone is to be able to help me. So here's the story: I am using an ABIT motherboard running an AMD DX4. There is a sIDE CDROM control card sitting in an ISA slot. It uses IRQ 15 and I/O addresses 1E8 - 1EF. When I installed FreeBSD I had to set the access to the CDROM card at irq 15 etc. in the installation program so that it could see and use the cd to install from. It worked. After installation I rebooted the machine and, as root, tried to mount the cdrom with # mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom got the error: mount_cd9660: Device not configured. I did dmesg and got: ata0 at port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 irq14 on isa0 ... unknown: <IDE CDROM DISABLED> can't assign resources. I looked in /etc/fstab and found /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro, noauto 0 0 I recompiled the kernel including the lines: device ata device atapicd ... device ata0 at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14 device ata1 at isa? port IO_WD2 irq 15 It compiled and ran first time (with reservations about sendmail at the moment!) but still it can not see the cdrom and there is no: ata1 at port ... etc. in the dmesg output. but still have the other messages: ata0 at port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 irq14 on isa0 ... unknown: <IDE CDROM DISABLED> can't assign resources. How can I get the kernel to see and read/write to the sIDE card and hence the cdrom? Hope someone can help me. Stuart.
