I'm not a total newbie regarding FreeBSD; I've installed it multiple times and I used it as my principal OS on my laptop. But I can't figure this one out, since I can't even install it =( I have three hard drives in my new PC: 1 SATA, Primary Master, currently entirely used for MS Windows 1 IDE, Secondary Master, used for backups 1 IDE, Secondary Slave, the one I wish to install FreeBSD on. Now my problem is that when I get to fdisk in Sysinstall, it doesn't give me any HDD choice. It only sees my SATA drive. =( My motherboard is an Asus P5Q Pro. Did anyone experienced the same issue? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Martin Boulianne
