   It is PureMessage Anti-Virus & Anti-Spam (Sophos) application. Knew
   that you also doing the same on a research for Anti-Spam, not sure
   whether you have heard this product before? Perhaps I should make
   myself clear about my current problem so you will have the picture.

   Problem as following:

   1.During the installation -> Booting for freebsd v4.8 on i386 from
   CD-ROM -> Reach "Kernel Configuration Menu" -> select option 2 "Start
   kernel configuration in full-screen visual mode"

   2.  Reach "The Kernel Device Configuration Visual Interface" -> Press
   "Q [Save and Exit]"

   3. Reach "Sysinstall Main Menu" -> select "Standard [Begin a standard
   installation]

   4. Creating Slices Using FDisk -> "Problem: Hard Disk cannot detected"


   I'm running on SATA mode. Supposingly I will need to configure my
   Driver on "The Kernel Device Configuration Visual Interface". Not sure
   the setting for SATA mode and whether 4.8 is supported?

   HW spec:
   Intel Xeron 2.8 G
   Seagate ST380013AS HDD
   Tiger i7501R S2735-8M motherboard
