I was wondering if it is possible to mount my IDE CD-ROM through the SB 16 IDE 
controller. For some reason my Creative CD-ROM does not work properly when I 
have it attached to my Pentium motherboard IDE controller. Unfortuanately now 
that I moved it back to the SB 16 controller FreeBSD cannot detect it. If 
anyone knows how I can get it to work please let me know. Just as a note I am 
still learning FreeBSD and in fact UNIX for that matter so if something simple 
and I missed it please show mercy.
