I have a Dell Dimension XPS P120c system. It has two IDE controllers. I
have
two hard drives on the first controller and a ide cdrom on the second
controller.
I also have a soundblaster 16 card with a non-scsi cdrom attached. The
installation
process complained that my ide cdrom has wrong phase error. the system
hangs.
The soundblaster cdrom works great so I was able to install FreeBSD. The
hand-
book says that I should be able to access the ide cdrom through the wcd
device.
So I tried: mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /mnt
and got: Device not configured
/dev/wcd0c exist so what does the error mean and what should I do?
