What drives do both of you have? I suppose. But why would these same drives not have the problem in previous versions of FreeBSD (going back to 2.0 for me)? You know, I recall the boot display showing the name of the hard drives before, so I was just going to suck in the relevant output from dmesg. And lo: wdreset: du->dk_status: 0x52 wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 flags 0x80ff80ff on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <> wd0: size unknown, using BIOS values wd0: 406MB (832608 sectors), 826 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): <> wd1: size unknown, using BIOS values wd1: 406MB (832608 sectors), 826 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S The drives are both Conners, but I'm not sure of the exact model number (without resorting to opening the case ... only if you insist.) --Morgan
