> Thanks for your response..... I've definately turned the other controller off, and using the fixit disk, and vi, have managed to change the /etc/fstab file..... to ad4 etc, instead of what itused to be (ad0) Mmm.. FreeBSD apparently still see the Promise controller as ATA2/3, so maybe the I/O address of it should be changed as ATA0/1 ? Does the Promise have a user accessible BIOS, like many SCSI controllers ? Something like pressing ctrl-a or similar during the POST boot phase ? if yes, maybe you could check into it if the settings are correct for use as primary and secondary ATA controllers. Just a tought :-) > I imagine the 'no such file or directory' errors are the major problem - and unfortunately one that I have no idea how to fix - at this stage, if I try to mount the partitions to their right places, I get the same error.... Maybe you had to create the approriate device nodes in your /dev dir. I've just checked into mine (4.2-stable) and I've only upto "ad3xxxx", nothing with "ad4xxxx" and so on. try something like, as root, "cd /etc && sh ./MAKEDEV ad4 ad5" and then check with "ls -l /dev/ad4*" Just another few Euro-cents :-)) -- bye!
