Hi,

I have got a FreeBSD 2.1.0 release and want to run a Mitsumi IDE CD-ROM 
FX400. The CD-ROM is the only device on the IDE Controller on the 
motherboard. All other devices (disks, tape) are SCSI devices.

Can you give me a hint how to configure the kernel to get the CD-ROM running?
Using the GENERIC kernel I get a message at boot time:

mcd0 Timeout getting status

Are IDE CD-ROM devices supported in this type of hardware configuration?

Thanks for your help
Ludger
