The ATAPI CDROM driver in 2.1.0-RELEASE is alpha.
If you Mitsumi is running off the IDE controller it would be using
the ATAPI driver. If it has it's own controller board,
it *is* supported with a stable driver. There is a atapi.flp
in the floppies directory which contains a kernel with the
alpha atapi driver. What does the autoconfigure log (during booting
the atapi floppy ) say WRT to the CD drive?
