My problem seemed to be a little too weird and uncommon to post at freebsd-questions. Background information: P4 2.4 / Intel D845PESV / 512 DDR333 / 120GB WD primary master / 60GB WD secondary master I've succesfully installed FreeBSD 4.8 on primary master. However, when I try to add the secondary master to the existing installation via sysinstall, things don't go so smoothly. I can create a new slice in Fdisk without problems, but Disklabel just stops after giving me the error about mounting. In another getty I see this: DEBUG: MakeDev: Unknown major/minor for devtype - I changed the ata100 cable. I checked the disk with WD's Data Lifeguard. The disk also worked fine in a Win2k workstation. All the BIOS settings are on auto. Someone suggested on doing "cd /dev/ && ./MAKEDEV all", but this didn't help. Also, FreeBSD detects both disks without problems: ad0: 114473MB [232581/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 ad2: 57241MB [116301/16/63] at ata1-master UDMA100 Anyone seen something like this before? I found surprisingly little info on google. Cheers, Joel
