I have attempted to install via the 5.2-RELEASE ISO's. Problem: CD boots fine, but my SATA drives (two Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120G) were not detected. I don't see anything in the release notes specific to the controller or the drives. The motherboard has the same Sil3114 SATA controller as the Tyan Thunder K8W (S2885). I have seen other posts to this list that indicate success in installing FreeBSD on the Thunder K8W, so I'm wondering why I can't see the drives on my system. The drives came with Windows XP pre-installed which seems to work ok for Windows. Any suggestions? Cheers,
