http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ45.html#45 says that ATAPI compatible IDE CD-ROMs are supported, but then says "All non-SCSI cards are known to be extremely slow compared to SCSI drives, and some ATAPI CDROMs may not work." How would I find out if mine is supported? I have an NEC IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2), at least according to what WinNT tells me. I tried booting up freeBSD on my computer last night, but it does not seem to recognize the CD-ROM drive. Subsequent to the screen where you remove any device conflicts the screen goes blank and nothing else happens. This is while trying to boot 2.2.5 from CD. thanks for any info on the CDs supported.
