I'm new to FreeBSD but not to UNIX. The guy who burned me the 6.0 release iso's told me that during the install, FreeBSD would detect my Windows XP drive but it didn't. I have two hard drives, one for FreeBSD one for Windows. The FreeBSD drive is SATA and the Windows is PATA (IDE, but I'm sure you all knew that).

I have the same or similar problem, only that both my hard drives are SATA: (dmesg)

Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad4s1a

The boot loader gives me two options F1 FreeBSD and F5 Unknown but chosing either will boot FreeBSD?

Cheers, Erik
