Hello world, I have made a custom kernel for ATAPI support. The ATAPI CDROM is configured as the slave on the primary IDE ribbon, and the FreeBSD disk is configured as the master on the secondary IDE ribbon. This configuration works (but requires booting from floppy). I want to change my hardware configuration so that the ATAPI CDROM is configured as the master (maybe even the slave) on the SECONDARY IDE ribbon, and the FreeBSD disk set up as either the slave on the primary IDE or leave it as the master on the secondary IDE. Here are my questions: 1) Is there any reason you know of why a custom kernel with this configuration would not work? 2) Have you successfully configured your system this way? Here is the pertinent configuration info: Pentium 75 Mhz, Intel PCI motherboard, 32 Mb RAM 1.44 Mb Floppy Drive 1: Western Digital 1.2Gb set as master on primary IDE ribbon (DOS) CD ROM: Toshiba ATAPI set as slave on primary IDE ribbon Drive 2: Maxtor 1.0Gb set as master on secondary IDE ribbon (FreeBSD only) Drive 3: Maxtor 200Mb set as slave on secondary IDE ribbon(currently garbage)
