I can confirm what Erik wrote: I got a shiny new 120G hard disk the other day. The only way to make it work was not to enable it in the BIOS and let FreeBSD do the rest. You will certainly need a hard drive that is compatible with your BIOS for your root partition. If you more specific information, then you should post which motherboard, chipset, BIOS you have and which hard disk you intend to use. You should also check the hardware notes: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.9R/hardware-i386.html http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.1R/hardware-i386.html Simon
