I'm doing a few new 3.0 installs lately.  I've done one flawlessly, and am
quite happy with it.  Now I'm trying to help a friend, and I'm running
into a problem I've never encountered before.  ON an IBM Aptiva with an
Acer PCI IDE bus master controller, I can see wdc0 just fine when I boot
off the install floppy.  I CANNOT see wdc1.  I've tried doing a number of
things in setup.  I've reset BIOS defaults, turned off PnP OS, turned off
any reference to bus mastering I can find, and had the BIOS reallocated
resources twice.  FreeBSD just can't find wdc1 at irq 15 0x170.  Windows
98 sees it just fine at irq 15 and I/O address 0x170-0x177.  The problem
is, the CD-ROM sits off this controller.  I'm having my friend download
the 2.2.7 floppy now to see if it can find the controller.  Any ideas on
this?  I appreciate any of your suggestions.  Thanks.

Joe Clarke
