Hello all, 1. I am very new to FreeBSD, and pretty new with various bsd's or nix OSes. I am trying to install the current version from ftp, and I have successfully made two floppies, kern.flp and mfsroot.flp which don't have support for my hard disk controller. I have found the source for the support under the fp server directory: /-current/src/sys/dev/ata and I suppose I should use the ata-disk.c and .h files, but I need help making these into a new kern.flp file. The controller is the HPT366 one on an Abit BE6 mainboard. The installation goes quite smoothly until it tries to find a partition to install to, and it doesn't see the disk b/c the controller isn't supported. The partition I'm gonna install to is already formatted. I do not have a *nix or *bsd OS currently installed, but I have access to a FreeBSD shell account that I might could use to compile or make with.
