I rebuild the kernel with atapicam (ata, scbus,cd and pass were already
there) and installed cdrecord and cdrdao. I have a few questions:

dmegs states "attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not
present"
Can this querying be set off? Even with cdroms in the drives it delays
booting.

cdrecord -scanbus comes up with a list of (cd) devices plus a warning:
"cdrecord: Warning: controller returns wrong size for CD capabilities
page"

What does this warning mean? What do I do about it?
