Hi While preparing to move a system from i386 to amd architecture The existing system is dual booting i386 for 5.4 stable and 6.0. My plan is to remove both systems, preserve my data and reinstall 6.1 amd from cd. The motherboard is a FA-K8N51GMF-9 with 3 hard drives installed. 2xSata and 1xIDE. Freebsd 5.4 #df sees /dev/ad4s1a devfs, /dev/ad4s1e /dev/ad4s1f /dev/ad6s1d /dev/ad6s1e linprocfs Freebsd 6.0 #df sees /dev/ad0s1a devfs /dev/ad0s1e /dev/ad01f /dev/ad0s1d /dev/ad4s1a /dev/ad4s1f /dev/ad6s1d devfs The CD installer select drives interface for 6.1 RELEASE amd64 recognizes ad0 and ad4 but not ad6. For installing 6.1 amd I will need the installer to see all physical devices and existing partitions. The Bios CMOS features show IDE Channel 0 Master WDC WD2000JB IDE Channel 0 Slave Lite-on CD-RW IDE Channel 2 Master ST3160827AS IDE Channel 3 Master WDC WD2000JD The Advanced Bios features show First boot device CDROM Second Boot Device Hard Disk Third boot Device Hard Disk The Hard disk boot priority sequence options show: Ch0 Ch2 Ch3 root shutdown -r /var/log/messages shows ad0 WDC WD2000JB at ata0-master UDMA33 acd0 Lite-on at ata0-slave USMA33 ad4 ST3160827AS at ata2-master UDMA33 ad6 WDC WD2000JD at ata3-master UDMA33 How do I get the installer select drives interface to recognize ad6? Thanks in advance david
