Hi Rodolfo, it is good to notice that FreeBSD is becoming popular in Brasil. Like you, I have a Creative Labs kit (Discovery I think) with a 4x IDE CDROM. It seems to be working fine though I haven't had time to test it more extensively. I have connected it to my primery IDE controller together with a 850M hard disk (master) I also have a conner 1.2G on the secondary controller. The atapi floppy recognizes everything just fine. The only problem I had was that, after installation (from 1.44Mfloppies), the kernel was the GENERIC one without support for IDE CDs. I had to recompile the kernel enabling the ATAPI option and the wcd0 device. It seems ok now. I might be wrong but I don't believe the CD is recognized if it is connected directly to the sound blaster board. The reason is that , by default, the sound blaster controller is configured as tertiary (0x1e8) which doesn't get probed. Of course, I had to change the MessDOS configuration of the SBIDE.SYS driver to something like sbide.sys /P:1f0,14 or something like that. Windows 95(arghhh) also recognizes the CD driver at its "new" position. Hope this helps, Toto (toto@ifq.sc.usp.br) Carlos A Ruggiero
