On the recommendation of a co-worker I selected FreeBSD as an educational platform, picked up a set of CD's (Ver 2.15) and tried to Install to a slaved (D) 824 meg Western Digital EIDE drive on my home computer. The problem is I can't get the install program to recognize the slave drive. Would you give this knuckle dragging neophyte some advice on how to proceed? I've mailed the main FreeBSD organization but no response so far. I hope to hear from you. John Purser
