Hello Joerg, # > I think that maybe playing with Adaptec BIOS settings will do # > the trick? # # I hardly doubt. Remember, the BIOS _finds_ the disk, it's FreeBSD # that fails. And FreeBSD doesn't use the BIOS once the kernel has been # loaded. Is there some probability that incorrect BIOS settings will initialize hardware (controller or maybe even disks) to some "bad" state and FreeBSD than won't work? That's what I mean. Miracles are too rare to consider them seriously. :-) # -- # cheers, J"org # # joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE # Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) # -- With best regards -- Andrew Stesin. +380 (44) 2760188 +380 (44) 2713457 +380 (44) 2713560 "You may delegate authority, but not responsibility."
