I want to install Freebsd 6.2 onto a seagate 4GB compact flash =
microdrive.
Neither FreeBSD 6.1 or 6.2-RC1 installers seem to detect the ATA-CF card =
on
the bus; although NetBSD was able to be installed on the drive and works =
OK.
I have tried installing the drive as ata0 master in two different =
machines;
both times NetBSD is able to boot off the drive -ie the hardware is =
working
fine - however the FreeBSD insaller does not detect the drive.
Fitting the microdrive in a working FreeBSD machine as ata1 master does =
not
give any further debug info - no dmesg, sysctl seems to log the =
attachment
as failing, although it is detected by BIOS as ST64022CF.=20

Is there a simple fix to make FreeBSD ata recognize the drive?=20
NB there is a simmilar question about using the same card in a pccard
adapter,

which appears to have been resolved?
Thank You
