I'm a newbie and I just built my first computer. I successfully loaded FreeBSD 6.0 from CD; however, the computer seems to think the CD-ROM is a hard drive and is trying to boot from that. During boot-up it auto detects the DVD ROM as the Pri Master, and the two HDs as 3rd and 4th Master. When it gets to the boot-stage, I get a message =B3Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key.=B2 According to the BIOS setup utility the 1st boot device is Intel Striped RAID. Yet, when I restart and hit F8 to select the BBS popup menu, it appears that the DVD is still the boot device. I change it to the HD and re-boot and still I get the original message above. The DVD/CD cable is connected to the blue primary IDE on the motherboard an= d the two HD are connected to SATA1 and SATA2. From the Main screen of the BIOS setup utility: -- Primary IDE Master is the NEC DVD RW. -- Primary IDE Slave Not Detected, -- IDE Configuration is RAID (OnBoard Serial-ATA BOOTROM is Disabled.) Any ideas on how I can make the system boot from the Hard drive? Thanks! -- Aaron VanAlstine My system consists of: FreeBSD 6.0 ASUS P5LD2 ACPI Bios Revision 0901 motherboard Pentium D 820 2.8 GHz dual-core NEC ND-3550A DVD+/-RW 2 x 512 Corsair 667 DDR2 RAM 2 x 80G Western Digital SATA HD configured in RAID 0 ASUS EN6600 graphics card Antec case Targus keyboard Belkin 3-button optical mouse
