Hello, I'm looking for some advice. With my current setup of FreeBSD 5.1, I cannot add device ATAPICAM to the kernel without a fatal kernel trap 12 on boot up. It's a problem that has to do with the binary driver provided by Highpoint for their RocketRaid 1640. My ultimate goal is to be able to burn DVD-R media, backing up parts of my system to DVD-R using growisofs and the DVD Tools. I'm using a Pioneer DVR-107 IDE ATAPI drive and I'm thinking of a workaround where I put the drive into one of those USB2/firewire adapter boxes that they sell for putting a HDD into and perhaps the USB or Firewire interface would allow me to get around the need for using ATAPICAM to do the IDE - SCSI emmulation. But before I drop any money on this idea, I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this. Thanks in advance, Bill Ing
