Hello,

I am going to install FreeBSD 2.21 onto my machine
that has Windows95 on the first HD that is set to master
on the primary controller, I want FreeBSD installed on my
second HD which is set to master on the secondary 
controller, but I have my IDE CD rom drive installed on
The secondary controller as slave. 
I heard that FreeBSD will not recognize an IDE CD Rom
drive unless it is set to Master on either controllers.
If this is true, does anyone have any suggestions as what
I should do?

Thank You

Mark
