I also had some problems getting my IDE CD to work, but I did get it to
go:
Step 1:
Re-Compile Kernel with the appropriate lines...
# I run my CD ROM as the primary drive on my 2nd IDE controller that
# came with the cdrom drive.
# P.S. the ATAPI interface uses the lkm extension to the kernel.
# I havent been able to get the ATAPI_STATIC option to behave
any
# differently from the ATAPI option, probably missing something...
controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr
options ATAPI #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus
device wcd0 at wdc1 drive 0
Step 2:
Make sure I have the correct devices in /dev
mknod wcd0a 19 0
mknod wcd0c 19 2
mknod rwcd0a 69 0
mknod rwcd0c 69 2
Step 3:
# This is were I got stuck initially:
modload /lkm/atapi_mod.o
modload /lkm/wcd_mod.o
Presto - working cdrom.
`cdcontrol -f rwcd0c ' and I am rocking to
Mortal Kombat...
`mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0a /cdrom'
and I can browse my Delphi 2.0 CD.
Hope this is of some help,
David Holland.
