Dear freeBSD.org,

I'm having problems installing my copy of freeBSD on a Siemens 486/DX2
Scenic PC. Problem is, the installation program does't seem to find my
drives, not even the floppy.

Starting up with the boot disks, it tells me:
DRIVE C: is DISK1
DRIVE D: is DISK2
or something like it.

Using the install program to load the kernel drivers, I removed all
conflicts

In CLI mode, both ATA0 and ATA1 have (as far as I know) the correct ports
and IRQ's

When choosing the recommended installation from the visual menu, it tells
me it can't find any drives, so it gives me no possibility to Fdisk too.

I tried installing from CD and a primary DOS partition.

What on earth am I doing wrong? Can you please help?

Thanx,
Martijn Proper
