I have recently (yesterday) installed FreeBSD on my 486 pci computer. I need a clue (or 2) regarding mounting an IDE CdRom. The CdRom, a Sony CSD-760E IDE 4x with an "interface" card does not appear in the initial probe during the boot sequence. the wdc0 controller does appear, as do my two hard disks wd0 and wd1. Then the wdc1 controller appears but there is no device following it, i.e. wd2 or wd3, as I was expecting. If I try to mount the cd as in mount_cd9660 /dev/wd2 (or /dev/wd3) /cdrom I get a device not configured message. Same thing if I try using mount_cd9660 /dev/scd0a /cdrom Is this something that recompiling the kernal would take care of? Additionally, I cannot mount the first hard disk either. I can live without it, but perhaps this is another piece of evidence pointing to the problem. I would be grateful for any assistance you can give me. Thanks Mark McDonald
