Problem on installing OpenBSD

satimis · 05-04-2007, 10:43 AM

Hi folks,

Old P-II 350 box
IWill motherboard support - ATA-33 HD
Hot Rod ABit ATA-66 PCI Controller
Maxtor HD - ATA-100 10G connected to above Controller

OpenBSD 4.1 CD installer - burned with CD41.iso

During installation it prompted "No disks found".

Previously on Windows I did this trick, connecting the HD to IDE first. Then the HD was detected. After installation completed reconnected the HD to the Controller.

Is there any other ways on OpenBSD. Or I have to do the same trick as before?

TIA

It's possible that it's not supported under BSD. See if a linux distro can detect it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any info relating to that device on abit's site.

Hi angryfirelord,

Tks for your advice.

Problem already solved which was caused by a damaged RAM stick. BSD can detect the HD connected to the ATA controller.
