Problems installing FreBSD 3.3 with SIIG ultra ata 66 controller card

Post by jar.. » Tue, 07 Mar 2000 04:00:00



I am having a problem installing freebsd on a slave drive. I am
currently running Win98-SE on a new Western Digital 15.3 gig drive. I
installed a SIIG ultra ata 66 pci controller card for the performance
boost. Now Im trying to install freebsd on a 4.3 gig slave drive. When
I get to the install point to tell freebsd which drive to install to
it says "no drives found" check to make sure the drives are being
detected properly (or something close to that). The SIIG card has its
own hd detection bios that is apparently overriding my system bios.
The Motherboard is an Asus P5AB. Does anyone know if there is a
work-around or a patch to help me? Any info would be greatly
appreciated. This is my first try installing/using freebsd. Thanks in
advance.

In general, FreeBSD 4.0 has much better support for ATA/66 controllers, so I
would recomment trying to install that instead. (Its due for an official
release in 4 days, but the current snapshot is extermely stable.)
