My suggestion is that you use FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE instead of 4.8-RELEASE, that can provide better support for SATA and don't need the extra effort backporting the driver. FreeBSD can be freely obtained from most official FreeBSD mirrors, and you can support the development of FreeBSD, through purchasing CD sets from FreeBSD Mall and other vendors listed on www.freebs= d.org Cheers, --=20 Xin LI http://www.delphij.net/ See complete headers for GPG key and other information. --6c2NcOVqGQ03X4Wi Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFB7lTn/cVsHxFZiIoRAhTpAJ9viW7AMDynuxThgW2/w5PPEfrY2wCfbItP io1StKhpm4wgSEoImj6M5mc= =piRw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --6c2NcOVqGQ03X4Wi--
