--0-1189641421-964579716=:23849 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I am installing FreeBSD 4 (x86) on an old 486/66. The CDROM drive i have is an old double speed mitsumi. I have it slaved to my harddrive, which in turn runs to a controller card-not sure what brand (which, *(#)#$#$ only has a primary IDE). FreeBSD is not finding the drive during installation, however in kernel configuration, it supplies two ATA/ATAPI controllers (why two?). I was thinking one of these could be the cdrom drive, but FreeBSD claims to support a mitsumi drive (mcd0, 300,10)..but no luck yet. please help , thanks aaron p.s. would switching drive priority help? ie, master to slave, slave to master?
