I *think* the SRM in the AXPpci33 doesn't recognize IDE drives. IDE support in SRM is a late addition and the AXPpci33 is quite old. So while it might be possible to install FreeBSD on the IDE disk, you wouldn't be able to boot from there. > Q2: Do i have to go back to ARc and how to perform that? BSD requires the SRM console. > [Alternative: text/html] I suggest to disable this, as it is a reliable way to annoy people who might otherwise be willing to help you. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
