I have two harddisks on the primary IDE controller and an IDE CD-ROM as a master on the secondary IDE controller. At startup FreeBSD does not recognize the secndary IDE controller. I read somewhere that the CD-ROM should be a slave. The BIOS however does not recognize the CD-ROM as a slave (dont ask me why). Is it possible to have FreeBSD recognize a CD-ROM installed as a master? Thanx!
