I still have not gotten this to work! <sigh>
I couple of more pieces ...
The HD is a Serial ATA device and the CD_ROM is a PATA. I think the PATA
is actually serviced via a SATA-PATA bridge on the motherboard. The
FreeBSD 6.0 installer recognizes both the the HD and the CDROM.
I have tried the installers for:
sarge i386
sarge amd64
sarge amd64 (daily)
and get the same behavior on all of them. The system also has a 3ware
9550 controller with 8 250GB SATA drives in RAID5, but I can't even get
past the CDROM detection step in the installer :(
Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Hi all,
I'm trying to install on a Supermicro X6DHT-G motherboard system with 2
EM64T processors, using a CD built from debian-31r0a-amd64-netinst.iso
The system boots to the CD and starts the installer, but it can not find
a driver for the CD-ROM. The CD-ROM is on IDE Channel 1 Slave and IDE
Channel 0 Master is a 250GB SATA1 drive.
The Installer complains about unavailable modules:
e1000
ide-mod
ide-probe-mod
ide-detect
ide-floppy
Any ideas how to work around this problem?
Thanks,
-Steve
