Hi!

Is it possible to access cdrom-drives connected
to an sb16 (ide3-port) with FreeBSD 2.2.1?

Under linux I must tell the kernel the following
parameters to initialize and access my cdrom-drives:
"ide3=0x168,0x36e,10 hdg=cdrom hdh=cdrom"

What are the appropriate parameters under FreeBSD?

Thanks in advance,

ps. I think ide3 means the 4th controller, because
    the first is ide0... This s**ks really,
    my next box will be SCSI only... :-)
