Hello! I'm trying to set up IDE hard disk and IDE CD-ROM on an aging 486 (yes, time to upgrade, I know). Old BIOS seems to know nothing about ATAPI CD-ROMs, so when I put CD-ROM on second IDE controller, BIOS fails to find IDE... and FreeBSD fails to find wdc1! Well, I could think it's fate, but Bug'95 recognises CD-ROM in the same condition! Maybe kernel relates on BIOS too much? Alex.
