Hello people,
I have a 40Gb "Seagate Barracuda IV" IDE HDD. After booting up from
my FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE CD I can't proceed with the installation because
sysinstall says that it can't find any disks.
But "lsdev" shows something like that:
[...skipped...]
disk devices:
[...skipped...]
disk1: BIOS drive C
disk1s1: Unknown fs: 0x7 #this is a NTFS partition
disk1s2: FAT-32
disk1s3: FAT-32 #I want BSD installed here
Also, I noticed that if I replace the HDD with either an 8,6Gb IBM or
a 4,3Gb Fujitsu everything goes like it should. Besides, if I plug my
Seagate into another PC the installation passes normally.
Thank you in advance for your help and sorry if my English seems
weird. :)
