Hello, I have been reviewing the release notes for 2.1 FreeBSD and I didn't see any info regarding built-in PCI Enhanced IDE controller. Does FreeBSD support this. I have a Pentium 100 motherboard with a built in Enhanced IDE controller which I also believe is PCI. I'm at work at present and don't have the docs with me. I also have a 1.6G IDE hard Drive that I was going to dedicate to this system. When I load the boot floppy, neither the hard drive nor controller are recognized. Am I stuck with going out and buying a bunch of SCSI hardware or are there options available booting with the "-c" option to account for the EIDE controller? A prompt reply would be greatly appreciated. If I'm stuck buying the hardware then I'd like to do it tonight if possible. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
