Thanks. Will try your suggestion.
To a conclusion, as many of you 5.3 is the best choice. There is no
support for the ICH5 SATA adapter in FreeBSD v4.8-Release. Release
4.10 supports ICH5 SATA on some motherboards. I don't think 4.10
support
my Tyan S2735 motherboard, but Tyan S1365 yes. Release 4.11 is
scheduled
before the end of this month. The only way is to run IDE channel
instead if
I insist to use 4.8.
BTW, thanks for your valuable suggestion.
