I believe there are a few to choose from in the ports.

Is it SCSI or IDE...If its SCSI you will most likely not have a problem
however if it's IDE(UDMA) etc I belive you would have to run 3.0-Release
to get it to work and it may no even work then.

There are alot in the ports.


For a list of the prots go to

FAQ, Tutorials, FreeBSD handbook and "The complete FreeBSD".  If you
download and print the FAQ and handbook and buy the book you could find
alot of answers alot quicker.
