Date: Mon, 22 Jul 1996 10:02:01 +0200 Organization: LineWise Lines: 17 Distribution: inet Message-ID: <31F33579.41C67EA6@enemy.public.se> NNTP-Posting-Host: ser5.pub.mil.se Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.01 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE i386) Hi, A few days ago the ide controller on my IBM PS/1 (ISA bus) went up in smoke. To make the computer work again I installed an eide/bios controller card, and a new 1 GB HD. Worked like a charm booting DOS. When I tried to install FreeBSD (2.1R) the computer locks up, just after the boot disk has probed everything, and the screen goes blank. I think this has to do with the fact that wdc0 isn't found and that the install proggie isn't configured to use wdc1 instead. Could anyone please help me to create a sysinstall that will work with wdc1? Regards, Kristofer Pettersson
