You mean you got through the install and when you were asked on which
slice you wanted to install FreeBSD you were only offered the choice of
the SATA drive?
If you have a working FreeBSD system, what does dmesg say? What does
fdisk (from inside FreeBSD) say? They both only see the SATA drive?
Boot the system from DOS and run DOS's fdisk; what does it say?
If all the FreeBSD utilities can see the SATA but not the PATA drive,
then I'd check the cable and the jumpers on the PATA drive. Be sure the
jumper is NOT set to Cable Select.
Once you can see both drives, just answer "yes" to installing the
FreeBSD boot loader during installation. If you don't want to
reinstall, read man boot0cfg.
Welcome and good luck,

Gayn,
Both drives were seen by the install program. In fact, I had to tell
the install to NOT use ad0 because it is PATA drive. I figured that ad0
would be the SATA drive because I had to alter CMOS to make the SATA
drive the boot (or "first") drive in the system.
I'll definitely be reading up on the boot0cfg manual page. Sorry that
it's taken so long to get back. I've very little time to play on my
computer at home. I'm really excited about FreeBSD. I've used OpenBSD
for a "long" time and am familiar with the BSD's. I wanted to get back
in to BSD (I've been using Linux for a while, honestly, I don't like it
all that much). I went with FreeBSD because of it's support, especially
for OpenOffice (at least it appeared that it would be easier to get
OpenOffice on FreeBSD than on OBSD).
Thanks for the welcome and the help.
Andy
