Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 6.3 on a system with a Asus P4S800D-E motherboard. I believe it uses the SiS 955TX chipset to control the hard disks. When I enter the sysinstall utility to do a Standard Install, sysinstall does not recognise my hard disk. This is because the SATA hard drive runs off its SATA controller and is not normally seen by OS's unless 3rd party software/drivers is loaded. There is no FreeBSD support on the SiS website, however I found another thread: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/questions/2004-06/2737.html in which the guy clearly states he got the same motherboard working in FreeBSD. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'll appreciate any help, thanks. PS: I'm using MS outlook to write this message, and tried to format everything as plain text. If it still comes out whack on UNIX systems, please advise me and I'll try something better next time.
