Hello,

I have tried installing the following versions of FreeBSD:
    - 7.0 Release
    - 6.2 Release
    - 6.1 Release

on an ACER Aspire AM1640-U1401A computer and the install program is not
detecting the SATA hard drive.

Does anybody else on the list have the above computer and have they
succeeded in installing FreeBSD on it?

Any hints or feedback will be greatly appreciated.

regards,
joseph
