On 7/10/99 2:10 AM, Maxim heard Crist J. Clark say: >No, a properly installed IDE CDROM should be found by either >kernel. What are the answers to these questions: > >1) Are you booting from floppy? From the CDROM? CD-ROM >2) Are you disabling the second IDE controller in the kernel config? I beleive it's on the second IDE controller (wdc1 as opposed to wdc0). I've tried with it enabled and disabled. No joy. >3) Is the CDROM detected during the kernel's hardware probes? It appears to be. (ie: "wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa") >4) Is the FreeBSD CD in the drive when you go to the media selection? > Was the CD in the drive during the boot? yes and yes >5) Is the CDROM offered as a choice at the media selection? yes, but it immediately returns a "No CD-ROM found" when selected as the media type. >-- >Crist J. Clark cjclark@home.com BTW: I emailed stanislav shalunov (shalunov@att.com) who had pretty much the same problem (Dell PowerEdge 1300, Sony CDU701, installer/OS not seeing CD even though BIOS boots from the FreeBSD CD). He posted it to FreeBSD-questions and had some dialogue with you about two months ago on this very issue. His response indicated that his resolution was to buy and install a different CD Drive. This news is not particularly encouraging. I have installed via FTP and remain unable to see the drive. I'm about to pull it and check that it isn't in slave config, which I doubt as it ships in master config by default. ================================== Israel Alvarez Propellerhead Without Portfolio is@isaka.net - The amazingly heavy lifeless dog "The crimes of eBay are a disgrace to its Pig Latin heritage." - TheOnion.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
