Thanks Mark. I'm not sure what you mean by that last bit. I can't get a prompt in order to do this as far as I know. I actually swapped the Hitachi DVD-ROM drive out and put a regular CD-ROM in. The CD-ROM was able to be seen fine as an installation target while hanging off the HPT366 controller. It seems that FreeBSD 4.0 just didn't like the DVD drive. Maybe 4.1 will work with it. I'll get the system installed then try swapping the DVD frive back in and see what happens. --- Marc van Woerkom <marc.vanwoerkom@science-factory.com> wrote: > > I have an Abit BP6 board that I am trying to > install > > FreeBSD onto. > > I use the ABIT Hot Rod UDMA 66 card with the same > chips > and a Maxtor hard disk in UDMA 66 mode.
