I installed using a Thinkpad 770Z and moving the HD to the Omnibook 800CT but then it doens't recognise the HD. The error is that it can't identify the ATA drive. Here is a quote from another FreeBSD user I found via Google: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-mobile/2003-May/000731.html Thanks.
