That may be the problem -- it's the slave on the first IDE channel, but there *is* a master device, my primary hard drive. I've got two hard drives currently connected as master on two IDE channels, but one will be removed when I've finished transferring data over. The CD-ROM is the slave device on the first channel. I had no problems with the device being automatically recognized when I upgraded to 3.5-STABLE, although I did have to change the device name in fstab to mount it. -- Roger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
