I have a CD-ROM (LiteON 40x) which is configured correctly in my PC's BIOS (it boots the FreeBSD 4.4 Install CD no problem). After installing and configuring FreeBSD 4.4 on my HP Pavilion, while logged in as root I can't get the CD to mount. I see a few others have had this problem, as in: ata0-slave: identify retries exceeded Can anyone suggest the best solution? I'm convinced that my CDROM is configured correctly in BIOS (I have another IDE disk that I slide into my PC with a disk tray / slider physical form factor ... it has SuSe Linux on it and it boots just fine and sees the same CDROM drive with zero problems). Thank you for any suggestions. -DeCoudras _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-config" in the body of the message
