>Originator:     Castor Fu
>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
Geocast Network Systems
>Environment:

	ATAPI IDE CD-ROM drive (LG CRD-8322B) on FIC PA-2013 motherboard
with Diamond Fireport 40 SCSI Controller and SCSI Hard disk.

>Description:

When I try booting off a FreeBSD-2.2.8 installation CD, the kernel
detects the IDE controller but doesn't detect the IDE CD-ROM unless an
IDE disk is also attached.

>How-To-Repeat:

I've tried using the "Cable Select", "Master" and "Slave" settings
on the drive, and they all fail.  When using "Cable Select" or
"Master" the IDE controller is detected but the drive is not.  With
the "Slave" setting, the controller is not detected at all.

The same problem occurs with the FreeBSD-3.0-RELEASE boot floppy.

>Fix:
	
	Ensure an IDE hard disk is attached to the system, or
use SCSI CD-ROMS with SCSI hard disks.
