I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.2 on a Gateway 2000 pc. My current configuration is Pentium II/266 64 megs ram 6.4gig quantum fireball IDE hd Intel 82371SB PCI Bus Master UDMA IDE controller iomega zip drive Mitsumi 12/24x CD Ensonique sounscape Telepath 56k x2 During my attempt to install I discovered that only my zip drive was recognized as a valid storage device (as wdc1 on irq 14). After some talk with a friend we tried various changes to the cmos, altering the plug&play settings, disabling the motherboard IDE controller which was driving the zip and the CD-ROM both, and manually configuring the HD. None worked. Devices connected to the motherboard IDE seemed to be detected fine. The Intel controller was not seen at all. wdc0 came up not found in all attempts. Is there any way around this or am I unable to install freebsd at all on this system without adding a supported scsi controller/drive or connecting another IDE drive to the motherboard IDE? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve
