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. > Why can't I hook it up in this manner? > > disk wd2 at wdc1 drive 0 > > Why can't I hook this up in this manner? > > device mcd0 at wdc1 drive 0 Because device mcd0 doesn't have *anything* to do with wdc1.

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.
