Hello, Few weeks ago i have bought Freebsd2.1.5 release and was trying to install it but is having trouble making the kernel detecting my cd-rom. Its a creative labs blaster 4xspeed cd which is connected to the motherboard in IDE controller 2 (wdc1), and it is jumpered as a primary master drive. My hard disk is connected to IDE port 1(wdc0) and is properly detected.(Also my hard disk). Now in order to detect my cdrom by the kernel, do i need to chamge the jumper setting of my cd-rom as a slave? Or should i connect my cdrom with my hard disk controller and jumper set it as a slave? Or is there any other alternative available to me? I understand that the boot.flp boot image is consist of boot.flp+atapi.flp so that it can detect the ide cdrom drive. I would really apprecate any help on this matter . Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Sohel.
