You say you couldn't get the CDROM recognized. How did you install then??? What do you mean "can't boot"? What happens when you try? What boot manager do you use??? > > Is there any plans for develop a driver to support the genius 2400 > dpi table scanner?

What version do you use??? 2.1.5 supports Atapi CDROM's out of the box. No special installation procedure required. To better help you, please send your configuration, i.e. what devices are connected to what EIDE channels and at what position (master/slave). The layout of the partitions on the disks may also be helpful. The only way I can get an EIDE CDROM to work is in the slave position on the primary controller, with the second disk on the second controller. This would make the second disk known as wd2. You may also want to take a look at the tutorials on multi-OS installations (start surfing from http://www.freebsd.org and then look at the tutorials, under documentation). Bottom Line: Send in more details! > > Thanks in advance! > You're welcome, Nadav
