Subject: HELP..  FreeBSD won't boot from hard disk.

I installed FreeBSD onto my computer.

The computer just freezes after I type -c (or anything) at the BOOT: prompt.

I think there is a conflict with my controller card.  I have a Fast EIDE 
Controller (the Enchanced IDE Master VL) from SIIG.  I changed to this 
controller card because I have 2 hard disks, a 1 gig and a 420 meg.  My 
old controller card would not recognize the 1 gig hard disk.

This is my current hard disk configuration:
Drive 0:
	Boot Manager	1 meg
	Dos 6.2		350 meg
	OS/2 Warp	150 meg
	Data Space	500 meg
Drive 1:
	FreeBSD		400 meg
		or
	boot
	FreeBSD		400 meg

When I swapped my old controller card back into my computer, I was able 
to boot up FreeBSD.  When I switched back to the new controller card, the 
computer just hung at the BOOT: prompt.

Can you tell me what can be done to make Free BSD work with my new 
controller card?

If you have any additional questions, please call me at work (510)824-2154.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Jim Chin..
