FreeBSD 6.2 installer doesn't see my SATA disk on Shuttle ST20G5

[Gilles Gravier]

Thanks Veronica!!

And where can I find the hardware compatibility list, please? I haven't 
checked since I don't know where to look for it.

The only thing I have is : 
http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/6-STABLE/hardware/amd64/index.html ... 
but it doesn't name any specific motherboards... and the "supported 
device" page doesn't even mention "radeon"... so I'm thinking this may 
not be the complete list. Or FreeBDS is not supporting modern enough 
hardware for me (though that ST20G5 is starting to be a good year old).

Gilles.
