I will try to keep this short .. .

Have problem getting IDE CDROM to work. Rebuilt kernel with options ATAPI,
device wcd0 and controller wdc1 uncommented.

Boot Hardware scroll says:

wdc1 unit0 (ATAPI): <NEC CD-ROM Drive:273 4.21 > removable, io rdy
ATAPI1.0 no cmd drq

Can not cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV wcd0
Do : ls *wcd0*
get: rwcd0c wcd0c
but no wcd0

It appears to almost work but lacks a direct memory access channel no.
How can I supply this?

MAKEDEV wcd0 may not work due to lack of drq (dma?) problem?

Please comment.

Thanks in advance
