Hi, i'm a PC user who has *just* made the transition over from windoze to FreeBSD, and i'm having some trouble upgrading my system. I've just installed a new motherboard for a Pentium 266mhz chip, and I have 3 IDE devices: a Seagate 1.2G hard drive, a Quantum 160mb (whoohoo) hard drive, and an IDE CD-rom. The Seagate is acting as the primary master, the Quantum is the primary slave and the CD-Rom is a secondary slave. My problem is that the generic FreeBSD kernel can only find the Seagate HD. Before (on my old 486) the CD used to boot just fine as device wcd0, but now it won't find it anymore. I can't even install the operating system because FreeBSD refuses to find the CD-Rom it just booted from. I'm really confused because i have little experience with IDE hardware devices, and i have no idea what port or IRQ addresses the BIOS is using. If it makes any difference, the BIOS i'm using is "award" bios that supports PnP devices and all the usual Windows95 stuff (though i think i've turned PnP off). Is there a MS-DOS program that can give me the information I need? any help would be MUCH appreciated! -MC ___ <@,@> Mark A.
