When moving the CDROM to master though can cause problems. I had a
Chaintech 5TDM board which refused to acknowledge a CDROM as secondary
master. I thought it was a bug in FBSD since RH Linux could detect my
CDROM as a secondary slave (only device on the controller). I never got
a straight answer as to why it didnt work and why it shouldnt be changed
or supported. I did get an answer from someone that said that it should
work in 3.0+, I tried and it didnt work. *shrug* probably just my mobo
and FBSD didnt like each other in this regard.
