We've found that your chances increase exponentially if you put the CDROM in the slave position on the primary controller or single on the secondary controller. This depends on your CDROM and IDE hardware. Unless you'd like to help the atapi improvement effort -- write hackers@freebsd.org, and have your programming skills handy. :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
