I've tried to install FreeeBSD CURRENT 8 and 7 release. This is on a no name box with a bio board and 1100 cpu. I've had this on other boxes too and load IDE drives on a box that works with them and then put them in the box with errors and they work just fine. Every thing gets recognized normally at install time, but the size of the IDE drive a Fujutsu 20 gig. shows twice what it should be every time. Dont know if this has anything to do with it, except if you change the size in installer it wont load anything. Maybe one of the top level gurus on the list can help. -- ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 6.* - 7.* - 8.* + < email: noc@hdk5.net > "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol
