I. e. configure a wdc controller with the proper IRQ and IO-Port and a wcd0 drive hanging from it. You also want to enable the options ATAPI and ATAPI-STATIC. Have a look at /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC and /sys/i386/conf/LINT for the details. The manual page of wd (man 4 wd) might give some more info. Wolfgang > > Best Regards, > > Paul Leskar >
