But ATAPI support WILL be added to -stable sometime before 2.1.0, right?
I ask because so many people have bought IDE CD-ROM drives (including
myself and one friend who wants to install FreeBSD but wait for the CD-ROM
release of 2.1.0 :-) and the vast majority of drives will probably work with
the current ATAPI drivers. Support for the largest possible range of
CD-ROM drives is also important in order to actually INSTALL FreeBSD when
it's distributed on CD-ROM without copying it to the hard drive, first.
Just wanted to verify that this WOULD be in 2.1.0, even if it does have
some problems, it's far better than nothing.
