I'm pretty sure this is a known issue, my suggestion is to try the cdrom on different IDE chains, meaning, try to move it to the first IDE controller. Make sure the cdrom drive's jumpers are set correctly for the IDE position it is in, i've seen some incorrectly configured IDE cdrom's work in windows when the jumpers are set wrong, but this is a no-go in FreeBSD. If you can try the other permutations of setting up the cdrom you may find one that works for you. good luck, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
