Hi all- I've been trying to add another hard drive to my system. So, attempting to do things the easy way, I entered /stand/sysinstall and then went into "configure", and from there "fdisk". I get the error message: No disks found! Please verify that your disk controller is being properly probed at boot time. See the Hardware Guide on the Documentation menu for clues on diagnosing this type of problem. So I figure, ok, let's go check out the Hardware Guide... so, I pop out to "Index", "Documentation", and then "Hardware". This gives me: The HARDWARE file is not provided on this particular floppy image. Floppy image? Interesting. I'm not on a floppy? I've tried this in both single and multi-user modes - same problems prevail. So, check out the scsi card... in DMESG my drives are shown as: ahc0: <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter> port 0x6000-0x60ff mem 0xf1200000-0xf120 0fff irq 11 at device 17.0 on pci0 ahc0: aic7880 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <COMPAQ ST34572W 0892> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 4094MB (8386000 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 522C) da1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 6 lun 0 da1: <SEAGATE ST39216W 0005> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da1: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da1: 8761MB (17942584 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1116C) da2 at ahc0 bus 0 target 8 lun 0 da2: <MICROP 3391WS x43h> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da2: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit) da2: 8681MB (17780058 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1106C) So, I'm confused. It seems to be probing everything ok, yet it tells me I have no drives. Any ideas?
