I suspect that the GENERIC kernel doesn't recognize the other two IDE controllers. You'll have to build one that does. I'd suggest: 1. Move the disk on ata3 (IDE4) to ata0 (IDE1). 2. Install FreeBSD there. 3. Build a kernel which knows the other two controllers. Add the following lines to the configuration file: device ata2 device ata3 4. Boot the new kernel. It should recognize the new disks. 5. Configure ad4 (on ata2). Copy the installed system to it. 6. Move the disk from ata0 to ata3. I'll see if we can't get the GENERIC kernel fixed so that you don't need to do this. Greg -- When replying to this message, please take care not to mutilate the original text.
