We never see the menu on page 46 of the : 'Installing & Running FreeBSD' manual which lets the user choose which : drive one wishes to install FreeBSD. All we get is FDISK showing us "disk : name: wd0". What sort of "ahc0" lines do you see at boot time ? You can re-visit the boot-up-messages with "dmesg". If you can see ahc0 but don't see any drive, I'd suspect termination or cabeling problems. Can you CTRL-A at BIOS boot time and "SCSI Verify" your drive ? -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
