Nope. The mcd driver is for the earlier, Mitsumi proprietary CD-ROMs
that came with their own controller card, like the FX-001D. Your drive
should work just fine as an atapi/ide CD-ROM.

Because device mcd0 doesn't have *anything* to do with wdc1. Try
wcd0 instead.

You didn't have a 'wcd0' in your lines above. Check carefully. If
you can't find a wcd0 line, use the one from LINT.

Right. You configured an mcd0 but don't physically have one in the
system, and you have a wcd0 but didn't configure it into the kernel.
Rip out all of the mcd stuff, configure a wcd0, and reboot. Happy
hunting!
