Do you mean that both traditional IDE drives and these new SATA drives both begin with "ad" in FreeBSD? I am new to FreeBSD, I have just migrated from Linux. In Linux, traditional IDE drives used to begin with "hd" and these new SATA drives began with "sd" and recognized as SCSI devices. I expected this new SATA drives to begin with "da" in FreeBSD. Do you mean I am wrong and both IDE and SATA devices begin with "ad"?
