Just to be on the safe side I've also tried the 9.0 amd64 image. Same results though. > First, you might try using the "2" option on the boot menu and then 'load > acpi_sony' followed by 'boot'.

No luck with this either.

I have tried the 8.1 i386 memstick image and it does see the drive. I have tried the 8.2 i386 memstick image and it does not see the drive. I have tried the 9.0 i386 memstick image and it does not see the drive. I have tried the 9.0 amd64 memstick image and it does not see the drive. Didn't do an install of 8.1 and upgrade to 8.2 though. If needed I could try that, but I'd prefer to do a clean 9.0 install. > Hope this helps any, as it's just basically just a couple of wild guesses > to maybe get you started. Well, still no FBSD 9.0 on the box but it kept me busy. Thanks anyways!
