It came with a Mitsumi CDROM drive however I can't get BSD to recognize it. When it starts up the HP tells me the CDROM is an IDE drive. I looked at the supported components list from BSDI and it only listed Mitsumi ISA CDROM drives, nothing about IDE. Does it matter? If so, can I get the kernel to have the mcd0 driver think it's IDE? What would I have to change? A short term solution is to stick a SCSI adaptor in there and hook up a SCSI CDROM, but that won't suffice long term. Any help is appreciated. -- chris BTW: I called BSDI tech support and basically because I'm working on a contract for a customer of mine who purchased BSDI, they want questions coming in through them. I don't have time for that this minute. I need to try and get this working ASAP.
