Ioannou) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Mitsumi FX300 CDROM and 2.1.0R Date: 13 Jan 1996 20:24:18 GMT Organization: University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine Lines: 14 Message-ID: <4d94di$i53@lyra.csx.cam.ac.uk> Reply-To: gi101@cam.ac.uk NNTP-Posting-Host: ursa.cus.cam.ac.uk Has anybody managed to get 2.1.0 RELEASE to recognize the Mitsumi FX300 ATAPI IDE CD-ROM? I've been trying all sorts of hardware rearrangements and boot configurations but with no success. My system is a 486DX33 with 8M RAM, one 210M IDE hard drive, one 1.1G EIDE drive, and I have the two hard disks connected to the primary controller on the EIDE card, and the CD-ROM connected to the secondary controller. This works with DOS, with the CD-ROM in either slave or master configuration. I've tried both master and slave, different combinations with the two hard disks, disabled all non-essential devices during boot, but still no success. Any ideas? -g
