Hello,

I am not sure, are the following components be able to run FreeBsd ?

- Video: Diamond Stealth64 Video 2001 chipset S3 765

- Cdrom: Vertos 400HTD 4 speed (atapi),

According the boot flop operation, this cdrom is detected but it
recognize
no cd inside.
The following message, during system boot with FreeBSD bootflop, appears

when FreeBSD does a probe on the second IDE port.

     "atapi1.0: unkown phase".

I think that FreeBSD will not support this cd-rom drive.

Which ATAPI drive('s) does guarantee FreeBSD support ???

Thanks in advance.

Hans van Reenen.
