Subject:   Problems with Mitsumi CDROM and ASUS P2BX Motherboard

I am trying to get the 3.0 FreeBSD release to recognize a Mitsumi 32X IDE CDROM.
I have a ASUS P2BX motherboard, 128MB PC100 SDRAM etc.  The CDROM is
configured on the secondary IDE port as a slave and is recognized by the Mitsumi
diagnostics, DI,  at port address 0x170 and IRQ 15 under DOS.  I can even boot
the FreeBSD CDROM from the BIOS.  But when I get to selecting media the CDROM is not recognized.
I have used the UserConfig utility during boot to change the Mitsumi driver from 0x300 to 0x170 and the IRQ from 10 to 15, 
completed the boot and the probe for the device still fails.  I am suspicious that this is really an ATAPI issue, but I cannot
find the wcd driver in the default boot kernel.

Any ideas?

Thanks
