I have the same problem with my Reveal 4x drive. FreeBSD seems to think it's an ATAPI tape drive and then it tells me it can't support it. I am using the kernel.IDE from the 1st CD (2.1) and I also tried kernel.ATA (I think that's the name) off the 2nd CD. I'm refering to the Walnut Creek CD's in case there are others. >: Are you using Serge's ATAPI driver?

I have a Western Digital 850Mb hard drive and a Reveal 4x CD-ROM and I have tried all different combinations of m/s f/s with no luck. I'm just hoping maybe someone else out there has the same configuration I do. Btw, I am using a Promise EIDE 2300+ with LBA off and onboard BIOS off. -- -- David Kirchner -- dpk@eskimo.com -- http://www.eskimo.com/~dpk/
