I am trying to install FreeBSD 6.0 on an IBM PC 300GL (Pentium III 533MHz with 80GB Western Digital HDD)

On standard installation I receive a message "no disks found!"

When I try to install Windows XP, XP does recognize the disk.

I had FreeBSD 6.0 before on this machine, using an IBM 20GB HDD and it was working fine.

Please help

Dimitris.
