They are not set to RAID mode however, it is merely a RAID controllor taking charge of the SATA hard drives. My problem is the following: when I enter 'sysinstall' and do a Standard Install, freebsd does not detect any hard disks. According to the 'ata(4)' man page, the SiS 180 controller is supported and I see the controller detected/being loaded at boot time. I have links to other people experiencing similar problems too: http://monkey.org/freebsd/archive/freebsd-bugs/200510/msg00208.html http://monkey.org/freebsd/archive/freebsd-bugs/200707/msg00265.html And a few others of which I lost the urls. I have also tried this on both RELEASE of 6.3 and 7.0. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks, much appreciated
