On the back (or PCB) of your drive (and your cd players too) you'll find the master/slave and the CS jumpers. In many cases just setting the master/slave properly will satisfy Windows, but FreeBSD wants you to set CS properly as well. Does anyone know what CS stands for (Cable Select?) and what it is for? Find the docs for the drives ("ftp ftp..com) is a good place to start. They have little ASCII-art disk layout schematics. In many cases nowadays it's printed on the casing. You may want to place the two cdrom players on the secondary IDE bus, and leave the big drive alone on the primary.
