Does anyone know the magic incantation that will permit me to install FreeBSD on this new machine of mine (nVidia chipset, SATA1 disk controller)? I've been trying for a week or so now, with no luck. Just out of curiosity, I downloaded and ran Ubuntu 8.x, and it recognized all of my hardware automatically. The FreeBSD installer (both in 7.x and 8.x), though, can't find my hard drive or CD-ROM. I *really* don't want to have to resort to Linux, not after using FreeBSD for 12 years now, but if I can't find a solution to this problem, I'll have no choice. :-( Thanks for any advice.
