(Yes, I realize, that the kernel on HD will be without ida > driver.) It has worked for me. Just remember to make sure you have you custom kernel in place rebofore you reboot after installing everything. I know that there are problems with the ida driver and the EISA version of the controller. I think that the driver never got synced up with the eisa code when the eisa stuff changed a while back. This part is pure conjecture though. As far as PCI goes though you are golden :^) Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
