If anyone has any suggestions about the following, I'd be most appreciative 
... 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.
