Also check that bios ide use auto setting. Set bios boot from floppy then drive c, not just floppy alone. If bios has system setting, set to unix or other, not windows. Try posting to freebsd-mobile list for better support. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of michael.white@charter.net Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2006 1:23 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: 6.1 doesn't recognize IDE HD All, I'm trying to install i386 FreeBSD 6.1 onto an HP Omnibook 800CT = (Pentium 166 MMX, 80 MB RAM, 4.3.
