Hello Wee Guan, This might be a long shot, but since the card does seem to be working normally then its BIOS was probably just disabled in the config when it was used before (did u get the card 2nd-hand or out of a Macintosh machine ?) - but an easy way to fix it could be to re-flash the card's BIOS (not your MB bios) - I'm pretty sure AIC-7880 series are flashable, and you will just need a quick visit to Adaptec's site and a 5 minute boot into DOS to see if it works Jean-Mark Dupoux jmdupoux_@_lineone.net --------- Original message ---------- Hello all, I have just put a Adaptec 3940UWD (AIC-7880 based) into my PIII- 550 running on an ASUS P3BF mainboard. The card works fine in FreeBSD and Windows once the OS has taken control, but on the machines I have tried it on, there is no Adaptec BIO banner at the boot time, and as a result, the system cannot be booted via this card. I have tried everything from flashing up my M/B BIOS to trying every option in the BIOS config. I understand that this is not really FreeBSD related, as the problem occurs before it even starts, but I'm grasping at straws here... ;) Many thanks in advance.
