When you see the bootup say mcd0 on irq 10, that's where *kernel* is configured to find your Mitsumi CD-ROM, *not* where it detects any CD-ROM. To have it use irq 5, enter the following at the boot prompt: boot hd(0,a)/kernel -c You'll be greeted with a config> prompt. Enter irq mcd0 5 You may also have to use the `port' command to set the base I/O address as well. Then, type `q' to continue the boot. Once you've got FreeBSD's srcdist installed, you can reconfigure your kernel to always use irq 5 my editing a kernel configuration file and rebuilding the kernel. Email me for detailed instructions. --k
