The PATA drive is cofigured as the primary disk, and the sata in bios it says is in PORT 0. I'll try removing the SATA disk and install freebsd, maybe is the jumper configuration. 2009/11/12 Jerry McAllister > On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 10:04:29AM -0600, Jes=FAs Abidan wrote: > > > i think i have the problem... > > > > i have two hard disks, IDE and SATA, i saw in my MS XP, my root label i= s > F: > > instead of C: maybe it is something related to jumpers or something lik= e > > that? > > That is a little surprise to me, but I am not up on the ins and outs > of IDE/SATA labeling.
