I have a NEC VERSA LX AGP laptop and I am trying to install 4.6 Release. It goes through all the gyrations and drops into SYSINSTALL but SYSINSTALL complains that no harddrives were found. Just to confirm that the beast was functioning correctly, I partioned the disk and installed WIN2K on the 1st partition just fine, and lo and behold, 4.6 still groks. I then tried OpenBSD 3.1 and also Debian Linux, and both installed just fine. Any help in resolving this woud be greatly appreciated, because I have a handful of FBSD boxes and I don't want this laptop to be an orphan child. thx nb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
