Summary: How can I get FreeBSD to detect my IDE-contr. on a XP6NP5-motherboard
Keywords: FreeBSD, ASUS XP6NP5, IDE

I recently switched my Pentium mb with an PPro board, an ASUS P/I-XP6NP5.
When I try to install FreeBSD my IDE-contr. won't get detected. My
configuration is:

ASUS P/I-XP6NP5
Adaptec 2940UW
2GB Wide SCSI HD
1GB SCSI-2 HD
ATAPI 10xSpeed sitting on the primary IDE as master.
64MB
FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE


Can anybody help? Has anybody used an XP6NP5-board with FreeBSD?


PS: It is my IDE-contr. that won't get detected, _not_ the CD-ROM (
of course it is also not detected since it uses the IDE-contr.).

Thanks in advance.
