I got my Atapi CD drive to work with FreeBSD 2.1 without any problems; I simply had to recompile the kernel. I actually had a small problem in the beginning, but once I remade the device file /dev/wcd0, everything went well. : Here's the probe output: : wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa : wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): <NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:272/4.15>, removable, : iordy : wcd0: 689Kb/sec, 256Kb cache, audio play, 256 volume levels, ejectable tray : wcd0: medium type unknown, unlocked : Okay, so I mount the 2.1.5 install CD: : # mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom I think I used /dev/wcd0, and not /dev/wcd0c This is from memory, so I can be wrong. Anyhow, give /dev/wcd0 a try. Make the device file if it doesn't exist already. : Then I can move around in the CD (change directories, that is) without any : problems. However, whenever I go to access a large file I get this: : # pkg_add emacs-19.31.tgz : # Aug 28 22:29:47 philip /kernel: atapi1.0: unknown phase : Aug 28 22:29:47 philip /kernel: atapi1.0: unknown phase : Aug 28 22:29:47 philip /kernel: wcd0: i/o error, status=0, error=1<ili> : Aug 28 22:29:47 philip /kernel: wcd0: i/o error, status=0, error=1<ili> hmmm.... My only problem with the ATAPI driver is that my 8x cd drive runs more like a 2x cd drive, but all works well. I don't know why you're getting that error. Can you copy or read small files/ any files from the cdrom? I'm not certain about the quality of the ATAPI driver from FreeBSD 2.1.5, but the one I have for FreeBSD 2.1 is an "alpha" and works just fine with my CD drive. Patrick
