OK, this thread has been all over the place. Let me get all of this
straight:
- You CAN boot from the CDROM
- You have now installed FreeBSD (3.1, I assume) via another medium
(ftp).
- You have the CDROM as master on the primary IDE controller
- You don't get any messages about IDE CDROMs or a secondary
controller in dmesg output
OK, so you have the CDROM as primary master, and don't see a secondary
controller. So just where are your HDDs? Do you have SCSI HDDs and an
IDE CDROM? Are you using the GENERIC kernel? What is the dmesg output
from the IDE probes?
