Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG, Valery Izotov , Tait Larson , Ivan Fetch , Tim McMillen Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Ted, Thanks very much for your reply. In fact I did build a custom kernel with the following line in the configuration file: device matcd0 at isa? port 0x230 but the device still isn't coming up. I found this configuration line in the LINT file, but I must admit that I don't understand the syntax of it. Given the bootup error message ata1-master: CDROM device - NO DRIVER! should I change the port address to 1c05? I feel pretty dumb. Also, in the Lehey book, p. 361, the matcd0 configuration line is shown as follows: controller matcd0 at isa? port 0x230 bio and I don't know what to think of "controller" versus "device" or the "bio" at the end.
