Hi, I am having the same problem with the CD as Ken is. I also tried the suggested diagnostics with exactly the same results. Media is in the drive, but it is not being recognized. I've been building kernels since FBSD-0.9 so I think I got that right by now. This cropped up somewhat recently (in the past few weeks). My CD was working fine when I used it last month. I usually rebuild the entire system once a week. I think there is a problem in the software. Two different drives on two different machines (my CD is connected to an NCR SCSI controller) with the same problem. Rick On 04-Sep-99 Kenneth D.
