Reference FreeBSD 2.0 info (and I hope some support from you guru's out there!), I have a Pentium 90Mhz system, with 2 x 1Gb SCSI-2 disks, 1 x Wangtek 1.2Gb tape drive running on a Buslogic 946C PCI controller, 1 x PCI S3 video card, 1 x 3Com503 Ethernet II. 1 x Sound Blaster card + integrated dual speed CD-ROM, 2 serial & 1 parallel port. CPU with 16Mb memory and floppy drive running off integrated on-mother-board IDE/Floppy controller. IDE Controller is of course disabled by jumper settings. I am successfully running MSDos 6.22 & Windows 3.11 without any problems on both drives. I have purchased the freeBSD 2.0 (Jan 94) CD-ROM from walnut creek, and which to install it on drive 1, leaving MSDOS on drive 0. My problem remains that I cold boot the freeBSD boot floppy, and select the install option from the menu. FDISK appears and everything is OK, except that but both FreeBSD FDISK & DISKLABEL utilities are unable to see any of my hard disk drives. (ie: the menu screen is simply blank of any disk information, both drive 0 & drive 1). I have tried the freeBSD floppy on another system (IDE controller + drives), freeBSD FDISK & DISKLABEL see the disk OK. Can anyone please suggest what I need to do to make freeBSD FDISK & DISKLABEL see my disk drives? I have checked the BUSLOGIC manuals to ensure nothing strange like ROM BIOS auto-picking new intr, or port...etc. I really what to get freeBSD running on drive 1 (full 1Gb) as soon as possible, for my uni studies. Any help would be most appreciated. Cheers Grahame [ gmkelly@ozemail.com.au ]
