For 6 months or so I have been using Manuel Bouyer's ATAPI CD support
on NetBSD1.2Beta without any problems.
I have just reinstalled 1.2.1 and can't get it working again.
I downloaded Manuel's files on May12th and followed the README without
any problems.
The CDROM is seen at bootup but any attempt to access it just gets the
response "device not configured".

The CDROM is slaved onto the hard disk on the primary IDE controller.
I don't think this is a hardware problem as we have a number of
machines and I can't now get any working but they all worked before
the O/S reinstall.
My guess is I have done something stupid but I just can't see what.
Many Thanks
Tim.
