I've got around the PCI bus scan by stepping through the config.sys and not loading all those adaptec drivers. Unfortunately, I never get a cdrom driver successfully loaded.

OTOH, bootable Win9x CDROMs work every time. -- Regards, Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
