I have installed FreeBSD on several different desktops (all running some flavour of AMD chip)... I now have to install it on my old laptop. I have made the boot floppies and plan to install from Parallel cable or floppies (I have all of them ready to go - ugh!). The problem is, that when I get to the SYSINSTALL menu, it will not recognize my HD. It finds my PC card and asks me if I want to install from that. It finds my floppy, my ports, my everything, but not my HD. So, when I check the Kernel config in visual mode -- hey, it finds ata0 and ata1 or IRQs 14 and 15 respectively. Then we go to the sysinstall and it cannot find any HDs to install to. Strange... Here is what I have: NEC UltraLite Versa Model PC-410-1521 340 HD 12 mg ram (i know 16 is optimal, but I only need basic stuff here for a debugger) and modems, etc... but I just need the machine to run a debugger! I am installing FreeBSD 4.0 (Mar 2000) If you need to know more, or can direct me to someone or document that can help, I would appreciate it.
