Hello Fellow FreeBSD-er!

I have been a satisfied user FreeBSD 2.0.5 (on a Compaq DX4-100).  Today, 
I tried to install it on an Aptiva 770 (P133, 32MB, 2.5GB HDD) and the 
install-disk failed to recognize the CD-ROM drive.  

When I tried to "attach matcd0" in the UserConfig, the message:

 matcd0: get_stat: After reading status byte, bus didn't go idle ff0 ffffffff

keeps repeating.

The CD-ROM drive came with the IBM and it says it's an "IBM CD-ROM".  Is 
there any hope in getting FreeBSD (v2.0.5) to recognize this "IBM CD-ROM?"

ANY help is appreciated and please kindly respond by email as I am not on 
the freebsd mailing list.  Many Thanks.

Regards,
Nelson
