All seems to work okay with the exception that the CD-ROM will report NOT READY when probed at boot if there is no CD-ROM in the drive. Is this normal behavior? My home computer uses an ATAPI CD-ROM that does not require a CD to be present when probed. dmesg: cd0 at aha0 bus 0 target 5 lun 0 cd0: Removable CD-ROM SCSI-2 device cd0: 3.300MB/s transfers cd0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present Checked the mailing list archives, man pages for the cd device and the GNATS database for references to this behavior with no luck. Any info appreciated, thanks. __________ Rick Siple ricksiple@mpainc.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
