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.
