I installed Xcdroast, which I am familiar with from Linux days. My CD-ROM and CD-RW are atapi devices, so I need scsi emulation to make it work with Xcdroast. In Linux, this would be accomplished by passing a parameter to the kernel in the boot loader (GRUB or LILO), like this: hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi And it would also require some changes to /etc/fstab, which currently looks like this: /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/acd1 /cdrom1 cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 I'm not sure how one passes parameters to BSD's boot0 boot manager. Both GRUB and LILO have a configuration file that can be edited. I'm not sure if boot0 has a configuration file, though perhaps /boot/device.hints is what I want, but I can't make much sense out of the syntax of what I see in that tile. I'd be very appreciative if anyone can tell me how to force scsi emulation for these two CD devices. Thanks in advance, Robert
