HELP 

I recently got BSD 2.1 which has the experimental driver for IDE CDROMs.
I have two HDD (Quantum540, WD420) as master and slave attaching to the
first onboard IDE controller, and a Toshiba quad-speed IDE cdrom (5302) 
is hooked up as the secondary master.  <--- configuration suggested by the
documentation.

I tried both the INST_IDE.bat and the boot image ATAPI.???.  But when it
is time to select the installation medium, BSD cannot find my Toshiba
cdrom.

Please help.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.  Thanks.
Sonny
