This line is the kernel message identifying the optical drive of your iMac, which is connected to the 1st ATA controller as slave drive (and I assume the master drive will be the hard disk, watch for "ad0" message). > More importantly, how do I fix it? I'm not sure, I sadly don't own iHardware. Maybe check cables of optical drive? At least the kernel boots - that's good for the beginning. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
