I've one hard disk on IDE0 master and the cdrom is on the IDE1 master. The jumper of the cdrom has been set to master. My computer configuration is P133 with Asus motherboard. I am not sure if the problem is due to the PNP feature of the cdrom and system BIOS, but i also installed linux and the kernel recognised the cdrom without any problem. After i used the FTP method to install the FreeBSD 2.1.5 and tried to compile the kernel with all the necessary right like ...... controller wdc1 options ATAPI ...... but the cdrom still not working. I also used the same boot disk to boot my home P133 and it could see my Toshiba 6X cdrom (no PNP) which is also on IDE1. Any idea is very much appreciated.
