Looking to the ASUS site, the P4VP-MX board uses the VIA8325 southbridge: http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=213&l1=3&l2=12&l3=53 Not 8233A as you said. Also, FreeBSD detects the 8235 chip. It cannot just detect the disks. >>>Your motherboard has VIA P4M266A chipset, carrying >>>VT8233A on board.
