Hi, I have been trying to install freebsd 5.4/6.0 beta 5 on Dell SC1425, everything went well and I have no problem at all, however when I tried to install it on Dell PE850, I have issue of which it says disk not found, it is Single Intel Pentium D(dual core) processor 3.0GHz, Front side bus 800MH= z and the Driver Controller is Two non hot-pluggable 1-inch SATA, the raid controller is optional CERC SATA channel for SATA hard drives, and the capacity is 80GB, 7200 RPM SATA drives. 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
