Enter BIOS and enable (S)ATA mode instead of RAID. This is not actual RAID hardware - this is simplistcs PROM that holds RAID0/1 config for Windows driver.<br />

The problem has to do with FreeBSD not recognizing the SATA controller.

I'm trying to install FreeBSD 6.0 on a Dell PowerEdge 830 server with an SATA disk. sysinstall says it can't find the drive. Apparently others have run into this same problem, but I'm not able to determine exactly what procedure is necessary to fix this. Can someone tell me what to do? Thanks!

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
