ATAPI & ATAPI_STATIC are in GENERIC anyway, as is wcd0 and matcd0. acd0
is for CD-ROM & CD-R/RW according to LINT and should be used *in place
of* wcd, so if the original poster is booting the GENERIC kernel there
shouldn't be a problem.
What's confusing me is ''I add the line "controller matcd0 at isa?
port 0x230 bio" in kernel''. Why? when it's there already?
