In your first mail, you mention the slave and master disks. I had a
lot of problems with this, especially after looking at the conner
home page on the net, and saw that you cannot always add a second HDD
to a system that contains a conner HDD (especially the older ones) so
I removed it, and now only have the one.
I did boot with the -c option, and have tried both the visual
interfaces and the normal one. One thing I did notice, is the "probe"
feature is not in the 2.1.0 release, although the doc says so! I
think that would be a clue. Maybe I should try the 2.0.5 release to
see if it can find my missing things.
However, does anyone know of any problems with these multi I/O cards
causing conflicts and so on? I have a feeling that FreeBSD is trying
to manipulate the card in such a way that it cannot recognise
something, why else would I loose my serial ports only with FreeBSD
booting, but not with DOS.
