I was able to easily install Redhat 7.2 on the machine but I cannot install FREEBSD 5.2 on the box. The kernel boots and then I try to continue with the install and I receive NO DISKS FOUND Please verify that your disk controller is being properly probed at boot time. I have already tried wiping out all the disks with: chmod +w dka* exer -a w dka* & I'm pretty much at a loss and cannot understand why it cannot find the disks. It has an Adaptec AIC-7895 controller and 4 IDE hard drives (Cypress 82C693 IDE) Please help. I need to get this installed. Thanks. Rich Paredes Systems Administrator rfp@chappy.com
