Unless the above has a typo, I'd start with: wdc is not equal to wcd My week-old understanding of FreeBSD is: wdc is the controller on which your non-SCSI disks and CD-ROM's sit, wcd is a generic ATAPI CD-ROM cdrom. Hope this leads you in the right direction. -- Kevin Cole | E-mail: flatline@pchb1f.gallaudet.edu Gallaudet Research Institute | WWW: http://pchb1f.gallaudet.edu/ Hall Memorial Bldg S-419 | Voice: (202) 651-5135 Washington, D.C. 20002-3695 | FAX: (202) 651-5746
