I am trying to install FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE onto a Compaq Armada E700 however FreeBSD is failing to probe the IDE controller (wdc0). I have searched the GNATS problem data base, and read documentation but cannot find a solution. I attempted to download FreeBSD4.0RC but it is going to take 15 hours so I gave this option away. I did boot RedHat Linux 6 on this computer and it did find the controller & hard drive. Win98 also works fine. FreeBSD3.4 also worked on a Compaq Armada E700 PII 400, I no longer have access to this computer to determine any chip differences. I looked at the IDE settings under Win98 and they were irq 14 0x1f0. There are no BIOS parameters affecting the hard drive to set, in fact there are very few BIOS setup options. I tried flags 0x2000 on wdc0, but to no avail. Could someone please give me some clues as to get this to work or to find out what is happening. This computer is a PIII 500Mhz with a 18GIG IDE Hard Drive. The boot screen from the 3.4 CD is as follows, I have copied this by hand from the laptop so I have only included relevant lines: avail memory = 10506240 (10260K bytes) Preloaded elf kernel "kernel" at 0xc05fa000.
