I'm only trying to help pin this problem down. Reading the problem report carefully, I can't find any information about the exact model and brand of your cdrom that seems to fail detection. Can you please follow up to the PR with more hardware information? It might also prove very helpful in tracking this problem down, to include information about the way your cdrom is connected to the machine. The subject of the PR mentions that it is a `slave' but more information on the hardware you have, and the cable connections, will certainly allow us to help you more :) -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
