Hi I have a Philips PCA21CR atapi-cd-player. Once detected it works well. But the detection at boot-time costs a little. As recommended before by the freebsd-list I removed other types of cd-players in my setup, but it still a little slow, look: wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): <ST3491A-XR> wd1: 408MB (836070 sectors), 899 cyls, 15 heads, 62 S/T, 512 B/S <wait for 10 sec's> wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa <wait for 30 sec's> wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): <PHILIPS PCA21CR/A2.0>, removable, iordy wcd0: 344Kb/sec, 128Kb cache, audio play, 256 volume levels, ejectable tray wcd0: 120mm data disc loaded, unlocked, lock protected So I have to wait twice for a "pretty long time" (when speaking of booting). The player works, so there's nothing wrong with that, but why that stupid delay? I just have the usual fd- and wdc-'controllers' with the 'disks' for it, and the options 'ATAPI, ATAPI_STATIC' and device wcd0... Do I have to disable the disks for my secondary controller on which my cd-player is on...? Strage, is this because the ATAPI-support is still beta? Paul
