Hi, I'm attempting to install NetBSD 1.4 on an i386 but during install when
the detected hard drives are listed only wd0 and wd1 are listed. My third
drive is on the second IDE channel with my cdrom drive.
On this same machine FreeBSD 'sees' wd2 and so does the OpenBSD
installer. The computer is an old IBM Valuepoint 486. I'm not certain what
other info to include. I'm very eager to get NetBSD up and running as my nic
is supported. Strangly freebsd detected the nic (a smc etherEZ) but any
operations on it time out.
Thanks for any advice.
Matthew
