Second, try updating your BIOS on the motherboard and on your SCSI card, often this may help. You may have to adjust some BIOS settings, so experiment. In particular, what you want is for the BIOS to recognize your devices and assign them as drive C: (0x80), D: (0x81), etc. If this doesn't happen, your MB may simply not deal with both SCSI and IDE being present at the same time. If so, try doing the install with just the IDE drive present. For more help, it would be useful to know what your SCSI controller is and whether it is supported. Check the FreeBSD release notes. -- -Chuck
