Okay, now we're getting somewhere (maybe). Looking in the CMOS for firewire, I finally found the SCSI controller setting. I never would have guessed it would be under PCI configuration. Anyway, I enabled that, and I disabled firewire, both ethernet ports (I use wireless anyway), and both SATA channels. I'll have to enable one of the SATA channels later since I have a new SATA drive, but for now I want to keep it as simple as possible. Also, I have the mpt device built into my kernel, along with scbus and da. Still, FreeBSD does not list a da device, dmesg doesn't show anything about mpt, and there is no information displayed on boot about SCSI drives. It's as if the SCSI controller is still disabled, even though I enabled it and saved settings. (I went back into CMOS to verify it was still enabled.) Know any other settings that could be disabling it? Thanks.
