I bet its still hung. My configuration is ata0 master, hard drive. ata0-slave empty. ata 1-master is DVD CDROM. ATA1-Slave is described above. FreeBSD 4.10 stable does not have any problems with this configuration. -- Mark Jacobs Time Customer Service, Tampa FL Technical Services Time Warner ----- I die like a true rebel. Don't waste any time mourning---organize! My Will is easy to decide For there is nothing to divide My kin don't need to fuss and moan 'Moss does not cling to a rolling stone.' My body?--Oh!--If I could choose I would to ashes it reduce And let the merry breezes blow My dust to where some flowers grow. Perhaps some fading flower then Would come to life and bloom again. This is my last and final Will. Good luck to all of you. Joe Hill 1879 - 1914, American labour leader and songwriter
