Hello,

=20

Can someone provide some input on such phenomena.

=20

I tried to install FreeBSD 6.0 on the same computer that is currently
running FreeBSD 4.10, but when I try to wipe existing harddrive clean it
says no HDDs found, also, advising me to check if my HDD controller is
supported or something in that spirit.

=20

This is from dmesg on that PC:

atapci0: <VIA 8235 ATA133 controller> port 0xfc00-0xfc0f at device 17.1
on pci0

ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0

ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0

=20

I checked FreeBSD hardware notes for 6.0 and didn't see any references
for this controller. Does it mean I must change my motherboard to
install 6.0 or/and up?

=20

Thanks much for your input
