I was trying to install freebsd in a computer with two cdroms without
success.. in the first Ide port I have a hard dis (master), in the second
ide port I have a cdr (master) and a cdrom(slave)... but when I try to
install freebsd from the freebsd cd... the installation program freeze in
the probing device section.. What can I do?Does Freebsd support two cd units

ok, here is my hardware specification.. the second port is in the
motherboard and I have connected both cd units in this port...
both units share irq 15 and port 0x170...
Windows can use this shared irq and detect both units... but what about
freebsd...

Greg Lehey <grog@lemis.com> told me that he has seven units:
=== root@freebie (/dev/ttyp6) /var/backup 143 -> df

/dev/cd4a        530578   530578        0   100%    /cdrom/5

I think that these units are scsi.. but what about ide ones...

thanks for help...
