I'm taking a shot in the dark, but is the CD on the secondary controller as a slave, and there's no master on that controller? That configuration causes problems for FreeBSD. I'm not sure it would cause the timeouts you are seeing, but it does cause FreeBSD to fail to recognize drives. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
