Finally I got things working! First I tried several other IDE cables, which did not help. Then I tried Carl's advice and bought a 80-connector cable. And amazingly enough... It worked! But I wonder, why is FreeBSD so picky about it? My previous Windows installation did not itch a bit. And should this not be documented anywhere (or should have, because SATA is the standard nowadays)? Thanks!

If that doesn't fix it > the controller on the motherboard is probably bad. Hi! If you are using a 40-pin cable and changing to another 40-pin doesn't help, test with a 80-pin cable. FreeBSD can be a bit picky about that. / Carl -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFO+o08UQ1gvZaLdMRAt/hAKCdVWbYJYZ3SVCvdsw3uagRq8I2GQCgiEl1 wsOmOG7XuGrmlt756+TVq8M= =r8I0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
