Or does the BIOS initialize something that FreeBSD otherwise doesn't mess with? Don't know how but managed to juggle IRQ's until the onboard ATA-100 got IRQ 10 all to itself. Altho it didn't seem to matter. Its running solid now so I'm not going to mess with it. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
