Unfortunately, I don't remember how I got it installed on the 600sc. However, I do remember one thing: going into /stand/sysinstall will cause the system to lock (panic). Currently its running something else other than FreeBSD :-( Hope this helps, Pete __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I am starting to believe that the problem lies in the Dell, not in FreeBSD. I'll work around this by attaching the drive to the second IDE controller and later experiment with adding a third controller on the PCI bus. --Paul Hoffman ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: How do I add a third ATA controller to 4.8?
Paul I notice that the kernel config file you present is using the "old" device ata lines - is the ATA controller a particularly old model? If not, then the LINT kernel config file shows an alternative, viz deviceata# just one entry for all ata controllers, no need to reference IRQs etc... deviceatadisk# for your IDE disks deviceatapicd# for your CD-ROM like devices You should comment out the ata0/ata1 lines before adding the above (and additionally, remove any "device wd*" lines in that section.) Then rebuild your kernel. Hope that helps.

I would have hoped that that was the case here too, but it doesn't seem to be. The new drive is definitely listed in the Dell's BIOS (I set it to "automatic" and on reboot the BIOS recognized its size correctly). --Paul Hoffman ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
