Hi, there!

I'm new at this mailing list. I'm sorry if this question is a FAQ. I just
tried installing IDE CD-ROM driver (I got from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/
FreeBSD/incoming/wcd11.tgz) into FreeBSD 2.0.5ALPHA but with no success. 
>From the "dmesg", see below, I could see that at least the kernel recognized
the CD-ROM drive. But, it showed that the controller (atapi1.0) were not
ready so that I could not access the drive. 

       ...
       wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
       wdc0: unit 0(wd0) : <WDC AC31600H>
       wd0: 1549 MB (3173184 sectors), 3148 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
       wdc0: unit 1(wd1) : <WDC AC31200F>
       wd1: 1222 MB (2503872 sectors), 2484 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
       wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa
 ==>   wdc1: unit 0 (atapi) : <CD-ROM CDR-C3 G>, removable, intr
 ==>   atapi1.0: controller not ready
       ...

By the way, the following are about my system:

       - Gateway P5-120XL with:
               - WD31600 HD set as a master in the primary IDE controller
               - WD31200 HD set as a slave in the primary IDE controller
               - Sanyo 3-Disk CD-ROM (3-CD Changer) drive set as a master
                    in the secondary IDE controller

       - The CD-ROM drive works well with Linux although I can use only
         the bottom slot.
     
Does anybody know the solution ?
Please help.

Thanks a lot in advance.
