Actually that is a pretty standard setup for cdrom, you will find it like that in many preconfigured systems, even though this one was custom built. > > > ATA channel 2: > > > Master: no device present > > > Slave: ad5 <IC35L120AVV207-0/V24OA63A> ATA/ATAPI rev 6 > > > > This is an unsupported configuration. That's no reason to let it regress :) And i think it was clear from the mail that this one wasn't optimal. > This is supported by FreeBSD, but not fully supported by the ATA standard. > I don't trust the support enough to monitor it for writable devices. AFAIR the setup ended being like that because it wasn't possible to boot from ar0 around the time (around 5.0?) the system came into life (I really don't know anymore). If you want to debug it i will let it like that and help you test otherwise i just plug it into master and be done. Andy
