I am having difficulty with freebsd 2.1 and an ATAPI IDE cdrom drive. The CDROM drive is the second device on a regular on-board IDE controller. We have no problem running the floppy and actually seeing the cd mount as the second device on wd0. Once the install from the CD is done and we boot from the hard drive --which is the first device on wd0 -- the cd is not found. After lots of investigation, we looked at the GENERIC source file (usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC) and saw that the ATAPI option is commented out. Is there a way for us to compile the kernel with an uncommented-out ATAPI line in GENERIC or is there a way to do it using the install utility from the floppy? We appreciate your support! THANKS!
