I'm jumping into this thread rather late, and I can't remember: do you also have an IDE controller? I frequently use a trick that isn't very well known or appreciated: if you disable the IDE disks in the BIOS setup menu, you can boot from sd0 as DOS drive C: -- that's obvious. But you can still access the IDE disks from FreeBSD, since it doesn't listen to what the BIOS has to say. I don't know if it's relevant here, though. Greg
