Trying to install FreeBSD from CDROM on a Hitachi IDE drive.
The drive is fine in DOS but after booting BSD from floppy it refuses
to pick it up :(      I've tried with both the normal and ATAPI kernels
and switched off checking for all other devices. No go.
Switched the CDROM from primary to secondary IDE interfaces with no luck
either. The HD (IDE) is fine though...

Can anyone give me a suggestion of what to try?
