I tried the default install disks and thought I'd ask here before I start trial and error on the storage section of the bootup. The default probes did not see any hard drives at all. Just to be clear. The Fasttrak is an pci card that supports 2 ide channels. I have it set up to use a disk from each channel and mirror. 2 X 4 gig drives to give me 4 gig of mirrored drive. The company mentions in the doc's that some motherboards may see it as a scsi device. If it helps the fasttrak is version 1.06 (Build 2).

I guess (unless lightning strikes in the next few hours) I'll go ahead and set up as 2 IDE drives without mirror and see if I can get FreeBSD to see it. If that doesn't work then back to the motherboard IDE channels... BTW it might be software but it's bios level. Just after the motherboard bios access. Just like when you use scsi raid controllers. So if they get it right it should be able to emulate a "standard" IDE drive and not require drivers... I was hoping someone had a hack that could translate from what the card bios shows and allow me to go ahead and load FreeBSD.

This might be better http://www.icp.net.au/raid1/default.htm (I should have one of these today).

Everything seems to be OK so far apart from 2 problems I am having: 1) The FreeBSD port of pine (both 3 & 4) cannot properly access folders on the ext2fs, since the files get locked and remain so for some 5 minutes. This is NOT related with file permissions as, if I make $HOME/mail a symlink to a UFS directory, pine locks work just fine. 2) "ls -l" does NOT report correctly on the number of links for ext2fs files and returns 0 for all. I don't know enough about the locking mechanisms implemented in pine but my feeling is that these two problems may be related. Your help/suggestions will be appreciated.
