Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a system with an ATAPI IDE CD-ROM drive (Lucky Goldstar CRD-8322B), and a SCSI hard disk off a Diamond Fireport 40 controller. When I try booting off a FreeBSD-2.2.8 installation CD, the kernel doesn't detect the IDE CD-ROM unless I also hook up an IDE Disk. I've tried using the "Cable Select", "Master" and "Slave" settings on the drive, and they all fail. When using "Cable Select" or "Master" the IDE controller is detected but the drive is not. With the "Slave" setting, the controller is not detected at all. Should FreeBSD-2.x be able to work with just one IDE device which is a CD-ROM?
