(This message for archival purposes) (applies to FreeBSD 2.2.2) My computer includes a Matshita (Matsushita?) CR-585 CD-ROM. Reading the docs, I first believed I was supposed to use the "matcd" controller. Wrong! A dozen of reboots later, I finally understood that this drive is actually an IDE device, which needs the "wdc" controller and _not_ the "matcd". So the right config incantations in the kernel boot file /sys/i386/conf/XXX are: controller isa0 # my IDE controller is on the ISA bus, see below controller wdc0 at isa? port ... #disk wd0 at wcd0 drive 0 # if you also have an IDE hard disk option ATAPI option ATAPI_STATIC device wcd0 # the damn CD-ROM And forget about the "matcd" controller. Hope this helps someone one day, -- Renaud Waldura <renaud@netsurf.org> http://www.netsurf.org/~renaud/
