Hello All - I am very new to FreeBSD, however I have had about 3 years =
of Linux experience so am not totally new to UNIX. I became somewhat =
annoyed at Linux, and so I decided to look into FreeBSD. I have a CD of =
3.4-RELEASE. I am currently running dual Celerons on a BP6 (With a =
HPT366 hard drive controller) and a Western Digital Expert 9gb hard =
drive. The drive is a 7200RPM ATA/66 drive. My problem is that I =
really have to have my hard drive on the HPT366 controller, and cannot =
run it from the ATA/33 controller on the motherboard.
Is there any way to make FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE work with this =
combination of hard drive and controller? I know that in Linux I can =
feed the kernel (Which I did not patch for ATA/66 support) the string =
`ide2=3D0xd000,0xd402,15 ide3=3D0xdc00,0xe002,15` and it will force the =
HPT366 controller into working like an ATA/33 controller (I think Linux =
just treats it like an ATA/33 controller at those addresses and it just =
works because the HPT366 is completely backwards compatible, but I am =
not sure). Is there any way to accomplish this in FreeBSD? My problem =
is I have no clue as to how to do this. Do I need to mess with the I/O =
addresses of wdc0 or wdc1? When I booted for the first time off the CD, =
I went through the Visual (Non-CLI) configuration menu, and made sure =
wdc0 and wdc1 were there, but then on boot the kernel only detected my =
CD-ROM which is on wdc0 (Primary non-HPT366 controller), and found =
nothing on the HPT366 controller. Is there a way for it to see wdc1 as =
the primary channel on the HPT366 (Would that be wdc3?)? Can FreeBSD =
see more than two channels/controllers at boot? Am I totally screwed? =
Do I need to run with the CURRENT branch? Please help, thanks!'
