The drive is fine in DOS but after booting BSD from floppy it refuses to pick it up :( I've tried with both the normal and ATAPI kernels and switched off checking for all other devices. No go. Switched the CDROM from primary to secondary IDE interfaces with no luck either. The HD (IDE) is fine though... Can anyone give me a suggestion of what to try? Christiaan
