********************************************************
* Make sure you've enough shared memory, the xine FAQ  *
* advises to have the following sysctl settings:       *
*                                                      *

*                                                      *
* To suppress many xitk warnings, please put following *
* setting in ~/.xitkrc.                                *
*                                                      *
* feature.shm = 0                                      *

You have to install SCSI over ATAPI driver. GENERIC kernel does not
have one. Only burncd in base system can use acd driver for burning
CD/DVD, others do use SCSI cd driver

kldload atapicam will do this
putting
atapicam_load="YES"
in /boot/loader.conf will do it every reboot.
include GENERIC

ident           KAYVEY
nocpu I486_CPU
nocpu I586_CPU

options SMP
device atapicam
nodevice acd

This is silly, leave acd there, and you don't need SMP unless you have
an SMP system (ie it is unrelated to this problem)

The new kernel will let you use cd0 device.
acd0 is gone for good - update /etc/fstab accordingly.

I think it's OK to stick with acd0.

The only time you *need* ATAPICAM is to burn CD/DVDs with something like
growisofs or cdrecord, or you want to use cdda2wav.

i am trying to make my dvd player werk.

How are you trying to play DVDs?
You should start by stating the problem you're trying to solve, not have
it as a rider at the end of your email.

If you are using xine then you can make a dvd symlink in /dev and do
xine dvd:/

If you edit /etc/devfs.conf and make sure it has these 2 lines..
# Commonly used by many ports
link    acd0    cdrom
link    acd0    dvd

then run
/etc/rc.d/devfs restart

it should do it for you.

Then DVD playing apps should find your drive OK. If not please give
actual error messages and fully describe what you're trying.
