I'm having trouble getting FreeBSD to recognize my CDROM drive.  I have a 
Panasonic drive on port 0x338.  Doing a Boot: -c I've set the 
Matsushita/Panasonic driver to port 0x338, but it still doesn't recognize the 
drive.  I know for a fact that's where it's located since Windoze and Linux 
were both able to access the drive there.  Is there something I need to do 
with the 'Flags' field in the bootconfig?  They're defaulting to 0x0.

Any help would be appreciated...
