Subject: possible bug in CDROM recognition?

I am a complete novice regarding OpenBSD. However...


I was going to ask for assistance as my new install of OBSD wouldn't

recognise the cdrom. However after much investigation I fixed it by changing

the "physical" position of the device from IDE slave on the secondary IDE

interface to master (in dmesg speak, from channel 1 drive 1 to channel 1

drive 0), as I noticed that it was configured as slave but there was no

master on this interface.


Windows98 and Debian Linux had no problem recognising the drive but OBSD

couldn't find it. Strangely I had no problem installing OBSD from the

official CD on this drive, it was just a problem when trying to mount the

cdrom after the installation was complete and rebooted.


So maybe there is a minor bug in how hardware is recognised. Does anyone

want a more detailed description with dmesg output? (before and after). I

have to admit not looking for any similar bug reports, but I will if the

folks here who know a thing or two want me to file a bug report, in which

case please give a few bried pointers as to where to do it.
