True. The second wd controller is not recognized. Probably i will try with different delay. Even bios detects it as a ATAPI cdrom drive 32X! And yes!! i get a strange message while booting.. Since my box is at home, i cant give the error message.. probably tomorrow i'll be back with more findings cheers, -biju To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
