I am at my wits end here trying to add a second drive to my file server. I have a gateway file server, P90 with 32mb ram. FreeBSD is installed and running just fine. The mother board has two IDE interfaces, one labled 'pri IDE' the other labled 'PCI IDE'.=20 Currently I have the sys drive as master and the CD as slave on the interface labled 'pri IDE'. I want to put two new drives on the box. Attempting to use the interface labled 'PCI IDE' gets me nowhere. I've tried; 1) LBA on/off 2) AUTO CONFIG on/off (manually set cyl, sec, etc) 3) new drives set as slave on cable first pos, master on cable end position, and both as slave. (leaving system disk only set as master on 'pri IDE' interface) I have one other box which the bios never sees the drive yet FBSD finds it and boots just fine. However FBSD never finds a drive on this box.=20 I have made no changes to the kernel other than to add these lines as per LINT. controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 disk wd2 at wdc1 drive 0 Recompiled and installed, reboot, I get this message from dmesg=20 "wdc1 not found at 0x170" My bios has no place to tell me what IRQ or mem address the IDE interfaces reside at, or where I can change/add this info. How can I tell FBSD where the drives are? Any thoughts?
