Most people : will have only one, wdc0. If it couldn't find these, it means you have : one weird IDE controller, or it's jumpered for very strange addresses. This morning I tried to change my IDE controller I/O address setting. However, there isn't such a thing. So I changed it with another IDE card. There is no I/O address setting, either. No luck, FreeBSD 2.0R still failed to identify the new controller .OTOH, I tried to boot FreeBSD on another PC and it finds that controller. The one thing in common is both cards are multi-I/O card - IDE + serial ports + parallel ports + game. One uses UMC chipset, the other Twinhead. Now I have no idea how this happened. Is there any workaround ? Or, could anyone give me more hint to identify the problem ? Yen-Wei Liu
