Help Please Date: 1 Jun 1994 09:39:36 GMT Organization: Portal Communications Company Lines: 22 Message-ID: <2shl0o$t3a@news1.svc.portal.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: jobe.shell.portal.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I just bought a NEC SCSI CDROM but it doesn't work with FreeBSD 1.1! The SCSI controller I'm using is Adaptec 1542CF. I have a 1.08GB SCSI HD on which I installed FreeBSD 1.1. FreeBSD 1.1 boots and works OK. FreeBSD detects the CDROM while booting. But it displays the following messages: (host adapter ID:7, SCSI HD ID:0, CDROM ID:4) cd0:(aha0:4:0) not ready cd0: could not get size cd0: drive empty If I try to mount a CDROM disk from /dev/cd0a, I get 'device not configured' message. The CDROM can be configured as SCSI-I or SCSI II. I tried both of them but got the same result. I set the CDROM ID to other numbers and still no difference. Any help is appreciated! Yan
