[ drives don't work in various systems except for one ] I once had a similar problem with a 120 GB Maxtor drive. My solution was not to specify the drive in the BIOS, and to pull all of its configuration. Using a smaller (10 GB) drive as a boot device, FreeBSD (4.9 and 5.2.1) magically detects the drive.
