My motherboard (A7M266-D) does not had on-board SATA support, so I installed a PCI SATA controller from CompUSA (CompUSA brand was what it said). When I boot from the install CD and use the Standard installation, all that sysinstall sees is my old hard drive on ad3, and not the new drive. When I try the 5.4-RELEASE cd, it *can* see the new drive and designates it ad6. Has SATA capability been lost between 5.4 and 6.0? Does anyone know of a way to make the 6.0-RELEASE install CD see my SATA hard drive like the old 5.4-RELEASE CD does? Thanks for any ideas you might have, - Jason Barnes
