=============================================================================== dvdisaster has been installed. Note that dvdisaster tries to read /dev/pass* to list available CD/DVD drives, so the program will not detect any available drives if the user running dvdisaster does not have permissions to read /dev/pass* FreeBSD 9.x does not pre-install an uniform CD-ROM driver for SCSI and ATAPI drives. Therefore dvdisaster can not use any ATAPI drives in an out-of-the-box FreeBSD 9.x installation. * Loading the atapicam kernel module by hand To manually load the required kernel module, do: root@freebsd# kldload atapicam Use the follwing command to see if any CD/DVD/BD drives became available: root@freebsd# camcontrol devlist at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,cd0) * (Optionally) loading the atapicam kernel module permanently If the above step works you can load the kernel module at boot time by adding atapicam_load="YES" at the end of /boot/loader.conf * (Optionally) recompiling the kernel If the atapicam kernel module is not available (check the contents of /boot/kernel) you will need to recompile the kernel with the following additional device line in the kernel configuration: device atapicam The devices ata, scbus, cd, and pass are also required, but are included by default in FreeBSD 6.0 and later. ===============================================================================
