They are both on the same IDE chain. I don't have bsd installed on this machine yet, but I do have windows on it and it works fine. Disk 2 works under windows just fine formated with ntfs, but when i try to boot the bsd4.9 cd I get the following error. ad1: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting ata0: resetting devices .. When I am at the kernel configuration screen at boot time is it possible to pass something to the kenel to skip the detection of the ad1 device so i can continue the install of bsd?
