X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2004 21:40:23 -0000 I have an ASUS A7V8X that has ATA SATA RAID options. There are no drives hooked up to it. When the box boots it hangs (not for too long) when its probing the SATA interface. I dont remember if there was any options in the bios to disable it, but is it possible to turn it off via a hint or kernel option...
