Have you enabled DMA on the DVD drive? It is turned off by default, and makes the drive really slow. If not, add hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" to /boot/loader.conf to enable DMA at next reboot. You can also manually enable DMA with "atacontrol mode". See atacontrol(8). $.02, /Mikko _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
