Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, Folks! Some times it is HARD to be a FreeBSD evangelist as I am. I try to convince everybody I know (and am mostly successful about that) to switch to FreeBSD from their M$, SCO, Novell, etc. current platforms. Heck, I really believe in this wonderful OS! But the hardest part of all this is when people ask me: "where do you get support from?", and I tell them "from the mailing lists". I do not feel comfortable when I say that... 'cause many times I have looked for help in here, and had smashed my face against a wall made of "cybernetic silence". Come on folks. If the answer to a question is really obvious for you, it may be NOT so obvious for the person asking. Even a "RTFM" answer can shed light to a user who is in desperation trying to fix a problem! he will probably RTFM then and find the answer!! By the way, I could not find an answer to my question below yet. I have tried many things. I'm not a newbie, but I'm not a guru either. So please help me with this one. Thanks in advance. Regards, Victor ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1999 17:45:48 -0600 From: Victor Carranza To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: "wdc1 not found at 0x170"... Does anybody have an answer?? Hi! I am getting mad with this problem. I have been searching the mailing list archives, but found no answer...it started when I switched to 3.0 (3.1 has the same problem). I was using 2.2.6 before. Until now, my "solution" was to put the IDE CD-ROM drive along with the hard drive on the primary controller, but this time I *really* need to put something on the secondary! I have read a success story related to changing configuration for the ed0 controller, but I do not even have this controller in my custom-built kernel. Please, send replies to the mailing list, so other people can find an answer, as I'm pretty sure this is a problem concerning a lot of FreeBSD 3.x users, not just me :) Thanks in advance!
