This is generally for things like the SATA bios. Many athlon64 motherboards have two SATA controllers... one is the on-chip VIA controller, the other is the Promise raid controller. If you have drives connected to just the Promise, then the VIA SATA BIOS will say "no drives attached" and "BIOS NOT INSTALLED". All this means is that the bios support for accessing the SATA drives wasn't activated because there is no point... no drives! -- Peter Wemm - peter@wemm.org; peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5
