I agree completely, ive resetup mine so that the cd is slave on primary 
controller, and  during boot it says it found the correct cdrom on wd0 
and it also says that it is 500k/s 512 cache 120mm music cd! and its the 
freebsd 2.1.5 cd in the drive, when it gets down to wcd0c, it says 
timeout getting status, am i without hope?  It is a nec cdrom walnut 
creek version of 2.1.5 any suggestions, i can give more details if 
needed, I am getting very frustrated!!  any help much appreciated.
