Hiya All.
Hope someone can help me out. I have installed a new VL-IDE controler that
is supose to support 4 drives. I just put in my 3rd drive and did the
following.
Put the third drive in as a master on the second ide controler port on the
card.
the card is a:
- Holtek HT-6560B VL-Bus IDE Controller/Adapter
I then booted off a dos disk with the controlers utilites to check
to see if it recognised the 3rd drive and it did.
I re-booted freebsd and modified the kernel to the following.
controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr
disk wd2 at wdc1 drive 0
disk wd3 at wdc1 drive 1
and recompiled it :)
but when I re-boot after freebsd does not find the second controler.
- May 14 04:16:51 router /kernel: wdc1 not found at 0x170
I am running version 2.1.6
The hardware specs on the cards docs say the second IDE controler is at 0x170
My Bios only recognises the first two drives, but I am told that dosn't
matter.
Can anyone help me.?
cya
