The CDROM is on the second IDE, as the = third, onboard IDE controller does not support ATAPI devices (only = ATA133). So, I figured I hang my third disk (large backup disk), which = is not an ATAPI device, of course, on the third IDE. My greatest fear, however, is that FreeBSD cannot deal with a third IDE = controller. Can you at least alleviate that fear? I very much appreciate your help, - Mark
