If you have a notebook with just one internal hard disk and no other USB media attached, /dev/da0 should be the external USB hard disk. But it will be different when you boot the FreeBSD installer from a USB media like thumb drive or other hard disks. After the installation program is up, you can connect your USB hard disk and it will become /dev/da1. I think the best way to continue is to tell us what choices the installer gives. Just never install FreeBSD on /dev/ada0 or /dev/ad0. This would wipe out your Windows. I would like this but your company will not. So, be really careful here. Erich
