--000000000000c7a647061d76e0dc Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hi, Trying to add disks to an old Dell box (has a Core 2 Quad processor). I bought this: SYBA 2-Port SATA II PCIe RAID Card Internal SIL3132 which, when installed in Core 2 Quad machine, FreeBSD starts to boot on "ad0", but then, when the driver for SIL3132 installs, it renames the drives, and now the SATA port on the PCIe card becomes "ad0", and then the boot dies in the middle as "ad0" goes away. How do I prevent the drive names from changing? Or can't I? Oh - Fresh install of FreeBSD 13.3 release, installed from DVD and then, updated via packages. The machine has "six" SATA ports, but only four connectors, so physical drives can be at ada0, ada1, ada4, and ada5. Weird, huh?
