Look in: : /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC and LINT for more info. I've got the options ATAPI compiled into MYKERNEL, but it still doesn't produce a device that I can mount. I'm wondering if the controller is the problem. When i got the computer, controller 0, had the HD connected to it, and controller 1, had the CD-ROM attached to it. I tried connecting the CD-ROM (NEC) to the same controller 0, with the HD on at the same time, but then i get a controller error. I also jumpered the CD-ROM as a slave, same error. If it's a hardware problem, will BSD be able to probe the controller and attached CD-ROM? The factory installed hardware set up is probeable. How can I tell if it's a hardware or software problem? Thanks in advance, Kelvin
