In another message you posted your HOMEBASE config file with wdc1 commented out. The dmesg output shows your CD on wdc0, am I right in assuming it is the slave to you HD on the first IDE channel? If so then wdc1 doesn't matter The only thing I spotted that could be causing a problem is wd1. In the HOMEBASE config file stuff you included above wd1 is included, whereas in your other message it is commented out: options "CMD640" # work around CMD640 chip deficiency controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 #disk wd1 at wdc0 drive 1 wd1 is the slave disk on the primary controller. wcd0 is the CD on the primary controller. Maybe you need wd1 probed (i.e. not commented out in your config file) in order for FreeBSD to find the CD. I know this sounds wierd, but there are plenty of threads in -questions about IDE CD-ROMs not being probed correctly. You must bear in mind that, as a "standard", IDE is pretty loose. Having said all that, the fact that GENERIC finds your CD points to your custom kernel. Try making HOMEBASE from GENERIC with everything you don't need commented out but leave the wdc, wcd and wd stuff as per GENERIC.
