References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG When moving the CDROM to master though can cause problems. I had a Chaintech 5TDM board which refused to acknowledge a CDROM as secondary master. I thought it was a bug in FBSD since RH Linux could detect my CDROM as a secondary slave (only device on the controller). I never got a straight answer as to why it didnt work and why it shouldnt be changed or supported. I did get an answer from someone that said that it should work in 3.0+, I tried and it didnt work. *shrug* probably just my mobo and FBSD didnt like each other in this regard. regards, chris Vince Vielhaber wrote: > > On Wed, 4 Aug 1999, Biju Susmer wrote: > > > hi, > > I tried yesterday to make the kernel understand my CD ROM drive.. but it > > refused.
