Hi!

Does anyone know if FreeBSD supports more than 2 IDE controllers?
An example of this setup is two IDE controllers with harddrives,
and a third SoundBlaster controller with a CD-ROM drive.

Linux (as far as I know) does not support the SoundBlaster adapter
configured as a third IDE adapter.

Thanks in advance for any help...
