hi,
ive installed FreeBSD 2.2-gamma (feb release) on my pentium pro 150.
i have everything detected by the kernel - 2 ide hard drives, ps2, 2
serials, parallel, soundblaster16, joystickport, etc....
however, i cant get my mitsumi 12x cdrom detected. its not on my
secondard ide controller as the bios wouldnt detect it (the primary
ide controller already has 2 ide hard drives on it - both detected
ok). Instead, it is on the soundblaster 16 IDE port on my CL
soundblaster card. windows 95 detects it ok with the drivers i got
with my soundcard. however, freebsd wont detect it. ive tried
adding a device wcd0 and enabling the secondary ide (eventhough it
not on it). is there any way i can get it detected while it is on my
Soundblaster 16's IDE port? if not, do you know why my bios wont
detect anything on my secondary IDE. i put the cdrom as a slave on
my primary and one of the hard drives as a master on the secondary
but it wasnt detected. it seems anything on the secondary IDE
controller is ignored, so its hardly surprising that FreeBSD can get
anything on it either. Therefore, the only way i can see my CDROM to
be detected is to have it on the soundblaster.
any help or advice would be much appreciated.
thanks,
David.
