Hello...

FreeBSD 5.3 on x86

I've installed an addon ATA card, an IT8212(F), and it comes in at bios
time, detects drives and such, but freebsd doesn't see it on booting. I
thought maybe this was because no drives were attached, but no dice with a
drive attached (even though the card sees this drive at boot time).

My system has a somewhat unusual ATA situation - a built in 2-port ATA
controller, another built in 2-port SATA controller, and now this card (2
port ATA as well). Is it possible that freebsd just doesn't expect so many
ata devices, or is the card just not supported?

I don't see it in hardware-i386.html, but generic ata cards have worked
for me in the past - was I just been getting lucky before?

Thanks for any ideas.

Cheers,
Brian Szymanski
