In "The Complete FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey, at page 100, it is written that I might use an ATAPI drive that does not fit the specification. This is what I have about the (indeed ATAPI IDE) CD-ROM: 1) The technical leaflet reads: E-IDE, conforms to SFF8020 v1.2 2) The Award BIOS says: ATAPI CDROM on IDE Secondary Slave, Mode 4 3) Windows 98 (was previously on the machine) said about it: E-IDE CDROM 36X/AKW I tried to use UserConfig, but the result is the same, and there is no wcd device in any list thereof. Could you please help me ?
