I want to be able to play DVDs on my FreeBSD 4.7 i386 workstation, but I don't even see it as a recognized device. I have it setup on the second IDE channel - my CD-RW is master, and my DVD-ROM is slave. The BIOS recognizes the DVD drive, but FreeBSD doesn't. Here is what /var/run/dmesg says - ata1-slave: ATA identify retries exceeded ad0: 76319MB <ST380021A> [155061/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 acd0: CD-RW <CD-W540E> at ata1-master PIO4 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a After it sees my CD-RW (acd0) it should then recognize my DVD drive. I don't know why it doesn't show, as the BIOS sees it, and that DVD-ROM drives are supported in FreeBSD 4.7. I did some playing around with drive configs and found out some interesting things. I first unplugged the CD-RW and set the DVD-ROM as master, and FreeBSD recognized it. Then I set my DVD-ROM as master, and added my CD-RW as slave, and FreeBSD recognized both drives. Then I decided to config back my drives the way I wanted them (CD-RW master, DVD-ROM slave), and test them in another OS. Oddly enough, Linux recognized both drives, but when I booted into FreeBSD only the CD-RW was recognized. I also tried a different cable and I still have the same problem. Any ideas? Is there some option I need to compile into my kernel? If anyone can help me to get my DVD drive recognized, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
