--tsOsTdHNUZQcU9Ye Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi all, I'm trying to put FreeBSD on an older machine, that currently has Linux installed. It is a 1 GHz Athlon with a Via KT266 chipset. The disk controller is a VIA 8233. The problem is that FreeBSD does not find the harddisk when booting from the install CD. The boot loader does, though. This happens both with 5.4-RELEASE and 6.0-beta1. Going to a fixit shell and doing a 'atacontrol list' gives no devices on the channel the harddisk is on. I've tried 'atacontrol reinit 0', but no luck. I can't get the kernel to recognize the disk. If I boot from the harddisk, Linux loads just fine. Any thoughts?
