Hi Ryan!
Thank you very much for your detailed response. You have given me a lot to
check.
Being an extreme newbie, I included what I thought would be necessary, but I
can definitely understand why you would need more.
Here goes (please try to excuse any minor typos (hopefully there will be
none!) as my FreeBSD box is not online, so I have to type all this on my
Windows box....yea...there probably is a an easier way, but like I
said...I'm a newbie- I'm not sure how to make it easier.
anyway...here goes...
>Make sure that you did NOT remove acd. :-) As you are, by self-admission,
a newbie, I'm assuming you did NOT build a new kernel, but merely went
through the visual config at bootup, right?
correct...visual config...I did not build a new kernel...I did not remove
acd though, made sure of that one.
>Please include your FULL dmesg output; in particular, you haven't included
any output from the acd detection phase ....

This was done after trying to mount the cdrom, per someone's suggestion to
boot with the disc in as a work around, using:
mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0a /cdrom
>Hmm... Are you sure it's on /dev/acd0c, and not acd0a? Couldn't hurt to

Both acd0a and acd0c have failed....
>Also, one common snag people run in to is using incorrect jumper settings

The drive is alone on the secondary IDE channel, so I will try changing the
jumper and send you an update on the result.

/dev lists both acd0a and acd0c
sh MAKEDEV acd0 produced no result
Hopefully this will give something to work with.
Thank you very much for taking the time help out a newbie. It is greatly
appreciated.
As you could see I have 2 NICs, this is routing a DSL connection to my LAN.
The modem was delivered today, and NorthPoint is doing the wiring in the
next few days. That will be another interesting problem, but I don't even
want to think about it yet.
Thanks again, Ryan.
