Re: FreeBSD 4.x or 5.x doesn't find hard drives to install to! [SATA]
KDK: Thanks for the tip. I think I misunderstood what Legacy meant :) As a matter of fact, I don't see the hard drives in the BIOS anywhere! I know the company that put the computer together said they got XP running on it, so I tend to think it worked at one point. I'm downloading RedHat 8 right now to see if that will recognize the drives. Dan On Jan 31, 2004, at 11:35 AM, Kevin D.

Please wrap your lines at 80 characters as a courtesy to those who read mail via text clients. I'm curious why you chose to enable "Legacy" mode for *120* GB hard drives. I'd be more inclined to think that the drives are too big and too new to be detected properly. Does the BIOS report the drives? Do other operating systems find the drives? I suppose it's possible that the IDE/ATA controller on the mobo is not supported by FreeBSD, but I really doubt it. As a third resort, check out the hardware compatibility list at the web site.
