My question was that I had an IDE CDROM connected to the second IDE controller on a pentium motherboard and 2 hard disks on the first controller. The second controller wasn't being detected so the CD wasn' detected either. I have managed to progress from here but still have some problems. I moved teh second disk to the second controller and made the CD the second device on the first controller. I don't have a BSD CD (yet) so the main point of the exercise was to see if I could detect the drive. I now get the following messages during bootup with the atapi.flp disk: wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): , removable, iordy atapi0.1: unknown phase the disk progresses through some more device probes as normal and goes to run init and then just hangs - just a blank screen with a non-blinking solid cursor in the bottom left-hand corner... can anyone help ??
