Well, I could think it's fate, but Bug'95 >recognises CD-ROM in the same condition! You must set the IRQ and port for the third IDE controller. I'm using 486 with old BIOS and SoundBlaster IDE controller on port 0x168 and IRQ 10. You must set the wdc1 to those setting, and you must set your ATAPI CD-ROM as master. Notice : when you cold boot, you must boot to Win95 first, in order to set the PNP setting on the card right, then you can warm boot my computer to FreeBSD, otherwise it won't recognise your IDE controller on the SoundBlaster card. Unless you have nonPNP SoundCard. > >Maybe kernel relates on BIOS too much? > >Alex. > > >
