Hi folks,
I have a problem getting my machine working. The hardest thing
is that my FreeBSD doesn't recognize the second IDE controller
at all. And what's even more strange, it doesn't recognize my
COM3 & COM4 that BIOS finds.
My configuration is an old 486 with Award BIOS (1992), VLB EIDE
controller and an additional Multi I/O from where I use only
COM ports (3e8, irq 5 and 2e8, irq 9).
I tried booting DOS 6.2 and it talked to COM ports, but didn't
recognize the third IDE drive (first drive on second ctrl) as well.
Any ideas?
Tanel
