I had a lot of problems with this, especially after looking at the conner home page on the net, and saw that you cannot always add a second HDD to a system that contains a conner HDD (especially the older ones) so I removed it, and now only have the one. I did boot with the -c option, and have tried both the visual interfaces and the normal one. One thing I did notice, is the "probe" feature is not in the 2.1.0 release, although the doc says so! I think that would be a clue. Maybe I should try the 2.0.5 release to see if it can find my missing things. However, does anyone know of any problems with these multi I/O cards causing conflicts and so on? I have a feeling that FreeBSD is trying to manipulate the card in such a way that it cannot recognise something, why else would I loose my serial ports only with FreeBSD booting, but not with DOS.
