Could someone tell me if this actually works or not? > (I'm especially interested in feedback on the CD-ROM install procedure.) It doesn't work for me. The boot messages show that the CD-ROM remains in PIO mode.

People reading this are likely to be inexperienced, else they would have already seen this on -stable or -questions. I also suggest mentioning that this workaround works only in some (or maybe "most") cases. > If this works, I will commit it and get it onto the Web site so users > experiencing this problem can get a workaround in one easy-to-find > place. > > Thanks, > > Bruce. - Bob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
