I compiled the kernel with the ATAPI options, did MAKEDEV wcd0, and mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom. I get a "device not configured message". When I boot I get the correct probe for 'wdc1 found at 0x170 at irq 15' message, however it hangs there a long time and the cdrom light does not come on. Are you using Serge's ATAPI driver? I am not a FreeBSD user, but I have been looking at the driver I found in the FreeBSD source tree. The driver only seems to support the audio functions. Support for mounting the CD-ROM was being worked on, but there were some technical problems that had to be solved. I don't know how far this driver has progressed since I got it (back in December).
