Here are the relevant pieces of info for my ATA-based machine: [demon] bvanzant $ dmesg | grep ata atapci0: <VIA 8237 SATA150 controller> port 0x9000-0x90ff,0x9400-0x940f,0x9800-0x9803,0xa000-0xa007,0xa400-0xa403,0xa800-0xa807 irq 10 at device 15.0 on pci0 atapci0: [MPSAFE] ata2: at 0xa800 on atapci0 ata2: [MPSAFE] ata3: at 0xa000 on atapci0 ata3: [MPSAFE] atapci1: <VIA 8237 UDMA133 controller> port 0x8800-0x880f at device 15.1 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci1 ata0: [MPSAFE] ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci1 ata1: [MPSAFE] ad0: 26105MB <IBM-DPTA-372730> [53040/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA66 acd0: DVDROM <HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-5000> at ata1-master PIO4 ad4: 157066MB <HDS722516VLSA80> [319120/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100 atapci0: <VIA 8237 SATA150 controller> port 0x9000-0x90ff,0x9400-0x940f,0x9800-0x9803,0xa000-0xa007,0xa400-0xa403,0xa800-0xa807 irq 10 at device 15.0 on pci0 atapci0: [MPSAFE] ata2: at 0xa800 on atapci0 ata2: [MPSAFE] ata3: at 0xa000 on atapci0 ata3: [MPSAFE] atapci1: <VIA 8237 UDMA133 controller> port 0x8800-0x880f at device 15.1 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci1 ata0: [MPSAFE] ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci1 ata1: [MPSAFE] ad0: 26105MB <IBM-DPTA-372730> [53040/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA66 acd0: DVDROM <HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-5000> at ata1-master PIO4 ad4: 157066MB <HDS722516VLSA80> [319120/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100 - -Bob On Friday 14 May 2004 10:17 pm, Mark wrote: > I installed my new FreeBSD 4.9R on my new ASUS KV8 Deluxe board.
