Hello,

I am trying to install FreeBSD 6.2 RELEASE on a x86 (Pentium III) with a
VIA 82C686 UDMA66 controller and a 30 GB ata hdd.

In sysinstall, after choosing 'Begin a standard installation', I get the
error message: "No disks found! Please verify that your disk controller
is being properly probed at boot time. See the ..."

I have looked at dmesg's output:

...

Can anyone help me out?
