Have you tried making the kernel config file look something like this? --------cut here----------- 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 device wcd0 #IDE CD-ROM --------cut here----------- I think it is essential to comment out the "equivalent" IDE hard disk (wd2) top get the probe going. BTW, you apparently need to make you IDE CDROM a master device, just for the record ;) Neil
