But this is untrue. I've installed FreeBSD on dozens of Seagate hard disks, SCSI especially. I don't know what kinds of problems you folks are having, but you've misidentified the problem if you somehow think that all Seagate drives everywhere are suddenly failing to work. I assume you folks are all doing dedicated installs, no DOS on the disk? And you've tried the hardware guide's suggestion of installing a very small DOS partition and seeing if that makes a difference? -- - Jordan Hubbard President, FreeBSD Project
