Assuming you truly do have a Matsushita, it should work if you have all your hardware configured correctly. I've done dozens of installs with this drive/SB combination. See the hardware guide for help on verifying that everything is really where you think it is. -- - Jordan Hubbard President, FreeBSD Project
