I originally made a mistake identifying the IDE connectors, and I put the hard drives on connector 2 and the CD on connector 1. I saw this when I ran sysintall, but I had put a zillion screws in the box and I said, "FreeBSD doesn't care...so I'll leave it" and I installed it that= way. Same message you got...ad4 limited to 33mhz, etc. So, I took the box apart, changed cables (although I already had 80 conductor cables on it) and tried various sysctl options. All no go. Finally, I thought since= I=20 had the box open now, I'd make the cables right and fix /etc/fstab. Voila! Now the drives report 133 on boot. Go figure... -Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
