X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.51 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.0.34 i686) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions Subject: 3.1-RELEASE can't see IDE CD-ROM on a Dell Poweredge 1300 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG The Poweredge has 1 SCSI disk 1 IDE CD-ROM drive (it's a CDU701 - for what it's worth) 1 set of 3.1-RELEASE from Walnut Creek Managed to boot off CD 1 of the distribution from the BIOS, but 'BSD can't see the CD-ROM drive afterwards. Managed to complete an install via an NFS-mounted CD-ROM, but again, 'BSD can't see the CD-ROM. Kernel sees wdc0 OK. The manual claims the CD-ROM is ATAPI compliant. The CD-ROM is the master device on wcd0. I'm wondering what is going wrong. Would it make sense to put an IDE hard disk on the same bus? Anyone else had/solved this particular problem? TIA, Adam.
