Hello people,

I am trying to get the mediabay mounted DVD player in my Dell D810 
laptop to work under NetBSD and I am having some problems with this. If 
i boot the laptop without the DVD mounted, the laptop will (for obvious 
reasons) not detect anything on the secondary IDE channel, and I have 
not found a way to get it to do so if I insert the DVD later on. And 
when booting with it attached, I get the error-messages seen at the 
bottom of this e-mail.

I am sure that I have seen some page with information and patches 
related to this problem before (not a Dell laptop though, but still same 
problem) but I can't seem to be able to find it again :(

I am using a 3.99.3 kernel with some minor modifications to get the 
piixide driver to detect my controller.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks!

Best Regards,
