Also, out of curiosity, are you using the ahci(4) driver or the siis(4)=20 driver? Thank you - fantastic! I tried the -d atacam before I sent the email, but I obviously specified it= incorrectly because I wrote the message anyway. This solves the issue, not= sure why it can't detect it. To answer your follow up question, I started using just siis, but added ahc= i to allow ahci functions. As far as I can tell, AHCI functions add on top = of the SIIS ones. The boot compact flash (not on the SIIS card) converted t= o ada from ad once ahci was loaded. DJ =0A=0A=0A
