Anyway, here's output from dmesg(1): wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <Seagate Technology 1275MB - ST31276A> wd0: 1221MB (2501856 sectors), 2482 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): <N C C -ROM DRIVE:272/4\^H1\^P>, removable, iordy wcd0: 689Kb/sec, 256Kb cache, audio play, 256 volume levels, ejectable tray wcd0: medium type unknown, unlocked My /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/MYKERNEL1 file has the following: #controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 flags 0x000080ff vector wdintr controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 #disk wd1 at wdc0 drive 1 #controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr #disk wd2 at wdc1 drive 0 #disk wd3 at wdc1 drive 1 options ATAPI #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus options ATAPI_STATIC #Don't do it as an LKM device wcd0 #IDE CD-ROM The first controller wdc line is commented out because for some reason it quit working when I migrated from FBSD 2.1.6 to 2.2.1. the ATAPI_STATIC option was what finally got my CD working for me... couldn't get FBSD to find it otherwise. I don't think I have anything else noteworthy in the way of setup... lemme know if this helps or if you have any questions. After recompiling your kernel & rebooting, type "/dev/MAKEDEV /dev/wcd" I think, and try "mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom", substituting for "/cdrom" whatever directory you want to use as the mount point for your CD-ROM, making sure you have a CD in there (my FBSD live filesystem CD lives in mine). Hope this helps, Anthony Jenkins
