I'm installing on an intel DG965ss motherboard for the core 2 duo. The hdd is sata, but the cdrom (sony dru-120c drd/cd writer) is on an ide channel. Is there any reason why freebsd wouldn't be able to find this drive. It boots off of it fine. In order to boot, I'm using (thanks to John Baldwin) 'set hint.apic.0.disable=1'. Would this be giving me problems finding the cdrom? In case it's at all helpful: I have tried installing suse and slackware, neither of which can find the cdrom. I am having the same problem with a pioneer dvr-710 dvd/cd writer. Is this a motherboard problem? Any ideas would be much appreciated. -josh John Baldwin wrote: > On Wednesday 06 December 2006 16:14, Josh Stephenson wrote: > >> Great, that worked....but now it can't find the cdrom to install from. >> > > SATA?
