This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------4EFA5F1678B7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have forwarded my response to another user to you. The difference between 2.1.6 and 2.2 is that 2.2 has the additional options ATAPI_STATIC. Hope this helps. -- __ __ / 0\ / 0\ Thank you * Highperformance.net ) Wannabe Sysadmin * The homeless domain )-------( Jason Wells * "Pardon me sir, spare some bandwidth?" \_____/ --------------4EFA5F1678B7 Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-questions@freefall.freebsd.org> Received: via tmail-4.1(5) for jcwells; Wed, 26 Feb 1997 10:27:11 -0800 (PST) Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-questions@freefall.freebsd.org> Received: from mx5.u.washington.edu (mx5.u.washington.edu [140.142.32.6]) by franklin02.u.washington.edu (8.8.4+UW96.12/8.8.4+UW97.02) with ESMTP id KAA10092 for <jcwells@franklin02.u.washington.edu>; Wed, 26 Feb 1997 10:27:10 -0800 Received: from halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu (halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu [18.26.0.159]) by mx5.u.washington.edu (8.8.4+UW96.12/8.8.4+UW96.12) with SMTP id KAA25010; Wed, 26 Feb 1997 10:26:51 -0800 Received: from freefall.FreeBSD.ORG by halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu; (5.65v3.2/1.1.8.2/19Aug95-0530PM) id AA23606; Wed, 26 Feb 1997 13:23:05 -0500 Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id JAA19325; Wed, 26 Feb 1997 09:16:25 -0800 (PST) Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA19182 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 26 Feb 1997 09:15:12 -0800 (PST) Received: from mailhost1.cac.washington.edu (mailhost1.cac.washington.edu [140.142.32.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA19171 for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>; Wed, 26 Feb 1997 09:15:09 -0800 (PST) Received: from s5-25-199.student.washington.edu (S5-25-199.student.washington.edu [128.95.25.199]) by mailhost1.cac.washington.edu (8.8.4+UW96.12/8.8.4+UW96.12) with SMTP id JAA08652; Wed, 26 Feb 1997 09:14:56 -0800 Message-Id: <33146F66.76AF@u.washington.edu> Date: Wed, 26 Feb 1997 09:14:14 -0800 From: Jason Wells <jcwells@u.washington.edu> Organization: (soon to be) Highperformance.net X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0Gold (Win95; I) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: Calin GRECU <cgrecu@exp437.sorostm.ro> Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: drivers References: <ADxr0ss45S@exp437.sorostm.ro> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Calin GRECU wrote: > > Dear Sirs, > > My name is Colin Grecu, I'm from Timisoara (Romania).

If your drive is IDE then it is compatible. Fear not. You can get it working. Ensure that you know where your drive is connected inside the machine and that the jumpers are set correclty. Your kernel must contain... options ATAPI device wcd0 The device for the IDE controller that your drive is connected to. For example. controller wdc0 controller wdc1 Your kernel may optionally contain... options CD9660 options ATAPI_STATIC CD9660 can be loaded dynamically when you mount the drive from a loadable kernel module. It is optional. ATAPI_STATIC means (if i understand LINT correctly) that the cdrom can not be mounted with a loadable kernel module. I believe it is also optional. It may not be supported in version 2.1.5. I know that I use it in 2.2 gamma. Read the file /sys/i386/conf/LINT for correct syntax. I may be wrong on syntax. When you reboot you should see messages describing your CDROM. If you do not then it is not configured correctly in the kernel. Try again. Ensure that a CD is in the drive prior to mounting the drive. Then enter the command... mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /mnt That should do it. Please write back if you have more questions. -- __ __ / 0\ / 0\ Thank you * Highperformance.net ) Wannabe Sysadmin * The homeless domain )-------( Jason Wells * "Pardon me sir, spare some bandwidth?" \_____/ --------------4EFA5F1678B7--
