What do u mean by difference?
That page does not mention da devices at all.
The device ad represents a IDE/ATA disk and the da device represents a
SCSI disk. As you have got one IDE hard disk and one SCSI hard disk in
your box, its showing up as ad0 and da0. But as you say that there is
no SCSI in that box, then something seems to be wrong. Check your BIOS
and disable any onboard SCSI controllers if present
There are no SCSI controllers. It's your basic cheap Acer desktop
Pentium III of a few years ago.
As I said already, "I have no SCSI in this box."

I'm looking at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.html
figure 2-20 which explains lots of things, but not the difference
between ad and da devices.
ad = IDE/ATA
da = SCSI
I have no SCSI in this box.

Great. How do I know which disk is which? _I_ could work it out if the panel
displayed information such as
Brand
Capacity
Note: DOS names would be worse than useless because I don't use DOS, and the
BIOS doesn't detect all my drives.
The website doesn't help.
I'm not on any list. Please respond by
a) Fixing the web page
b) Mailing me the necessary info (eg the fixed page when it's done) in case I
can't discover by other means which is which.
