I originally posted to freebsd-questions but, judging by the lack of replies I think I made the mistake of posting to the wrong list - on reflection this seems to be more a question for hardware.

While ad4 is "seen" according to /var/log/messages the new build does not "see" ad6 .. does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Thanks David
