Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've searched the FAQ, I've searched the Handbook--both to no avail (either that, or I simply didn't look hard enough). Are there instructions for installing an IDE CDROM drive? I've done my best to follow my nose, I de-commented the ATAPI option and the wcd0 device from the kernel config and rebuilt the kernel, I have even run a 'MAKEDEV wcd0' in the /dev directory, yet I still am unable to even get the CDROM probed on bootup.. It _IS_ an ide CDROM, plugged directly into the second IDE device slot on a Triton MB (onboard ide). The CDROM is a hitachi cdrom. For the kernel config I simply copied GENERIC and decommented the two pertinent lines (ATAPI and wcd0). What am I missing? -Brandon Gillespie
