Even if I change to another sata port and it is still not working, I can see it in the bios however the sysinstall just say disk not found when come to standard installation part. And I have no problem at all while installing linux on it which is not what I wish to. For the Dell SC430, P4 2.8GHz, SATA 7200k rpm, the issue even weird since I don't have the ps2 port, and I'm using usb keyboard, when I load up the freebsd CD for both 5.4 or 6.0 beta 5, it hangs on the sysinstall, I can't use my keyboard to change any setting at all and it is kind of funny as I can see ukbd is loaded. Then I decide to install pfsense, the project which is based on FreeBSD 6 Beta, everything goes smoothly and I can install, it is really annoying as = I wonder why it hangs on the sysinstall until I can't do anything. Is there any solution or workaround on these, I guess there might be someone successfully installing freebsd on it. Thanks. Regards, geek00L
