As the subject suggests, freebsd 8.0 on amd64 does not detect all ata channels on nVidia nForce MCP55, unless you configure hw.pci.mcfg=0 in loader.conf. There was some discussion here: > http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2009-August/011137.html > http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2009-September/011162.html and more here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=128686 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=132372 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=137942 If there is a developer interested in fixing this, I have a machine running 8.0 off a flash disk which is displaying this problem, and can set up an account for remote access. Any takers? Nick
