Here are the pertinent lines, you'll note that wcd0 isn't there. Also, wdc1, the
second IDE controller doesn't exist.
What is the CD-ROM connected to? Is it slave on the primary controller (wdc0)?
Perhaps it's on a sound card's interface. That's probably a different beast.
If not, you seem to have a system problem.
A couple of things to try are, boot from the generic kernel. Does it show up
there? Or, boot from the install floppy and find out where it is on that.
Lastly, NEVER delete the whole mailing list. I'm no genius. I just had a
couple of ideas. ALWAYS, keep the brain trust of the entire list involved.
Especially, Doug White, he is a genius. :-)
