Have you tried putting the hard drive on the secondary master and the cdrom on the primary master? Maybe try a different cable. Another thing would be on the WD300BB, there's a jumper setting for master with slave and one for master (single drive), although I doubt that's the issue if your bios is probing it. Your BIOS IS probing the drive, isn't it? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
