I've qot a problem (I think) with the CD- ROM and wondered if anyone could help me. The drive in question used to be plugged into a Soundblaster board (into a port labelled IDE on that board) and is labelled GCD-542B). I knew "soundblaster" cd-roms could be difficult but I tried plugging it into the secondary IDE port on the motherboard and everything seemed fine. I succesfully created the install by making use of this CD drive and I haven't changed any settings since (although I have booted the machine into windows via Partition Magic - FWIW). Because the CD drive had worked so well during install I assumed it was working however when I went to try to mount the drive it said "device not configured". I noticed during the boot that the message atapi1.0: unknown phase appears several times in a row. Is this normal ? Also matdc0 not found which sounds pretty bad but as I say during the install the CD- ROM was working quite happily. Is it possible that the drive could have acted during the install but that it is not now accessible to the system ? thanks Richard Shea. ***************************************************** Open Door Ltd PO Box 119-46 Wellington PH 04 384 7639 FX 04 384 7672 ***************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
