This was the same with both the generic and a custom kernel. Win95 boots in less time! Not sure if it's related but the K CD player core dumps. Would making it secondary slave help? Is it simply being detected or is there initialization to do? I thought that little or no hardware detection would be necessary with a custom kernel. from the kernel config options INET #InterNETworking options FFS #Berkeley Fast Filesystem options FFS_ROOT #FFS usable as root device [keep this!] options MSDOSFS #MSDOS Filesystem options "CD9660" #ISO 9660 Filesystem options "CD9660_ROOT" #CD-ROM usable as root.
