Too bad, as the soundcard itself seems to be recognized properly by 5-Stable: # kldload snd_sb16 # kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 9 0xc0400000 275764 kernel 2 2 0xc0676000 18a44 miibus.ko 3 1 0xc068f000 6b98 if_rl.ko 4 1 0xc0696000 b1b8 random.ko 5 1 0xc1118000 4000 snd_sb16.ko 6 2 0xc111c000 18000 sound.ko 7 1 0xc113b000 4000 snd_sbc.ko # cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: at io 0x220 irq 5 drq 1:5 bufsz 4096d kld snd_sb16 (1p/1r/0v channels duplex default) Anyway, if I buy a PCI IDE controller, would that work easily with FreeBSD (4- or 5-Stable alike) ?
