Hi,

I installed Free-BSD 2.1 from my ATAPI CD ROM drive with no (real)
problems a few months ago. When I was finished, I ended up with an
/etc/fstab of:

/dev/wd0a                       /               ufs     rw 1 1
/dev/wd0s1f                     /usr            ufs     rw 1 1
/dev/wd0s1e                     /var            ufs     rw 1 1
proc                            /proc           procfs  rw 0 0
/dev/wcd0c                      /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto 0 0

As you can see I made the CD ROM "noauto". I then attached a second
IDE hard disk, replacing the CD ROM and added the line:

/dev/wd1s1                      /disk2          ufs     rw 1 1


Since then I have not changed the hardware at all. Now I want to be
able to read the CD ROM again, so I cut the last line out, and
rebooted. No problem. Except when I enter "mount  /cdrom" I get the
error:

cd9660: /dev/wcd0c: Device not configured

Just be be sure I check the directory, and sure enough the block
special device file is there.  All this time I HAVE the FreeBSD CD in
the CD drive. So I reckon the problem must be when I booted -c to
disable probes on non-existant hardware. Here is what dmesg says:

Which of the disabled devices do I need to reactivate? (Don't forget
it is a ATAPI CD ROM). Or I am I going in the wrong direction?
The CD ROM is a Hitachi CDR-7730 with which I have seen several
reports in this ng of people having problems. However I could do 
the installation using it - so.  It is attached as a slave to the one
IDE controller, so should have shown up after the boot disk.

The drive is setup as a slave and has power etc, and a FreeBSD CD
loaded.


Many thanks for any assistance,
