I don't think there is anything wrong with the build process of disc1.iso. I think instead that someone made a change in the atapi driver that broke this. I have a Intel Desktop Motherboard VC820 that this exact thing happened to. In my case, I fortunately was running a Hipoint RAID card in it so the only thing that got wacked was the system now does not recognize that there is a CDROM on the secondary onboard IDE controller. Last week I had it running FreeBSD 4.11 just fine. (not on the RAID controller) I had assumed that using the RAID controller made it so that the onboard ATAPI controller had some problem, but after seeing this post it is clear that they broke the driver. DO you want to file a PR or should I? Ted
