Hi all,
yesterday I downloaded the latest atapi.flp from the FreeBSD mirror at
sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk, full of anticipation at finally being able to use my
CD drive with FreeBSD. Anyway, booted up my home machine (which has a
C-labs IDE CDROM hooked up to a SoundBlaster) and watched it completely
fail to find any trace of the CD :( Looking around in the config editor, I
couldn't find any devices listed that claimed to be the ATAPI driver. I
expected (at worst) that it would look for and fail to find my drive, but
it doesn't seem to even be looking!
So, am I being _incredibly stupid_ or is there something dodgy about this
atapi.flp? I downloaded the file from sunsite again today and tried it on
a work machine (without an IDE CDROM) with the same results. BTW, my CDROM
works fine under DOS/Windows and OS/2 so I don't think hardware is at
fault.
Cheers,
Scott Mitchell
