Date: Mon, 16 Aug 1999 11:42:02 -0600 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG The VMWare guest OS page for FreeBSD (http://www.vmware.com/support/technotesfreebsd.html) states, --- One caveat with all versions of FreeBSD is that there is a problem probing for the CD-ROM device wdc1; FreeBSD sends an illegal ATAPI command to the IDE controller and ignores the error status reply. This results in approximately a 1 minute delay each time the system boots. --- Is this true?
