I have created two partitions for FreeBSD, one on its NMVe 256GB SSD, and one on its WD 1TB HD. For now, I have 12.2-RELEASE-p4 GENERIC on a USB memstick, so I can do some limited testing. FreeBSD 12.2 does not recognize the SATA/RAID controller, which I assume is resposible (in Win10) for accising both drives. The relevant pcoconf line for the controlleris: none7@pci0:0:23:0: class=0x010400 card=0x09c51028 chip=0x06d68086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' class = mass storage subclass = RAIDSee if the BIOS offers a choice of configuring the controller as SATA instead of RAID. That worked for me on an Inspiron 1180. (It also made W10 unbootable - apparently each OS occupies its own universe.)
That worked, precisely as it did for you: gpart list shows partitions and drives much to my expectations, and Win10 no longer boots. I can boot windows by setting the BIOS config back to RAID. That's not much of a pain. Now to try installing 12.2-RELEASE on the SSD!
Thank you very much indeed! Karl L. Dunn kld...@hiwaay.net _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
