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?
