I've just installed 6.2/amd64 on a system with standard IDE as well as SATA; I've got three drives: an old linux IDE hard drive (that I can't modify), a CD/DVD drive on the IDE bus, and a new SATA drive where I've just installed/am installing FreeBSD. I can boot from any of the drives: the linux install doesn't have the right drivers so it's not usable, but the MB definitely sees the drive. I can boot from the FreeBSD boot CD, as well, and that's what I used to install onto the SATA drive. The trouble is that when I boot from the SATA drive I can't see either of the other two drives. /dev contains the entries for the main SATA drive, but nothing for anything else: no /dev/acd or /dev/cd; no other hard drives; nothing. Looked through dmesg but didn't see anything related to the cd drive, although I really don't know what I'm looking for. I wondered whether the stock kernel maybe just didn't include the right drivers, so added device atapicam device scbus device cd device pass to GENERIC, but I still can't see the dvd drive. What should I be looking for? Is there more robust documentation on dealing with ATA devices somewhere? Any help much appreciated. -mike
