I've got an atapi DVD-ROM drive in my machine that is usable quite fine under Windows and Windows NT. It is on a seperate IDE channel and is jumpered as a master. Under FreeBSD 4.1 the IDE controller is detected OK but I get a message saying something like: 'ata2-master - idendify retries exceeded' I tried 'fooling' the freebsd into using it by installing with a regular cdrom, then shut the system down and swapped it for the DVD-ROM and booted up again. This didn't work. Can I somehow 'tell' FreeBSD that that there is a CDROM device there and to use it even though it's not detected? Thanks. _____________________________________________________________________________ http://geocities.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Australia & NZ GeoCities - Build your own Web Site - for free!
