>Description:
When I run sysinstall from a disk from freeBSD versions 6.3-release or 7.0-release   none of ny Hard Drives are detected (this includes SATA and IDE drives)
Furthermore in the initial messages there are no ad* listings.

I am using a MSI P6N SLI Plat. Motherboard with the NVIDIA® nForce 650i SLI (C55) Chipset.  
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to install freeBSD and then go to the partition section.  It will say no HDDs detected
>Fix:
Use freeBSD 6.2 and DONT upgrade
