As it turns out they have a 6.4G as primary master and an ATAPI CD-ROM device as secondary master. There is also an ATAPI ZIP in it (the BIOS didn't report its location). The wcd0 probe was hanging quite a bit and in the end the CD-ROM wasn't recognized. Since I can't just rejumper and rewire their brand new computer without them throwing me out, I'm stuck. They'd like FreeBSD, but they don't understand the benefits, yet, so at this point this is a very hard sell. Would 2.2.6 be a cure for this?
