How should it be configured? We have a 2.1G hard drive as the master on HDD1 controller and we aren't sure if the hard drive should be acting as master with the CDROM as slave, or if the CDROM is supposed to be mater on HDD2 controller. I read that FreeBSD doesn't support EIDE, does that mean everything must be on HDD1 or just that EIDE functions aren't available? Anyway, my main concern is how should we configure the hardware of the CD and hard disk so that FreeBSD will recognize that there is a CDROM drive? Thanks in advance Scott
