The interface is a proprietary Sony (8 bit ISA card). Two jumpers to set the address 0x250 or 0x260. I have tried with the disk in at power-up, during boot, just before selecting the media, and after selecting the media. Does not seem to make any difference. The kernel finds the drive okay during device probing. I have tried both addresses and different ISA slots. The funny thing is that this same card and CDROM worked fine with FreeBSD 2.0.1 thru 2.2.5. I do have scd0 in the kernel. I did manage to install via FTP. I then tried to mount the CDROM with: mount /cdrom But there was not a /cdrom directory like there has always been (I don't ever recall having to create this directory on any of my other FreeBSD systems.) So I created the /cdrom and tried again and got a device does not exist error. So I tried: mount /cdrom /dev/scd0a and I got the 'media looks like an audio cd' error. Any other suggestions? Did this driver break between 2.2.5 and 2.2.6?
