I've got a small problem with my IDE CD-ROM.  FreeBSD probes and finds my
CD-ROM controller, but it doesn't generate a device like it does with my
hard disk.  I've configured it as slave.  I've tried MAKEDEV and it makes
a device in the /dev directory, but then when i try to mount it, it says
that it's not configured.  What's going on?
