I have checked under the following link but it does not mention

listing motherboards would be to exhaustive but chipsets maybe would 
be more of a limited scope.

Does FreeBSD provide a list for Chipsets? Is there a man page I can 
look at like the other drivers listed on that page have man pages 
except for Chipsets?


Thanks


Sean,
 G965 is a recent chipset, so I suggest that you download a 
snapshot build of the livecd and install using that. The snapshot 
folder is located at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/.

Hello Sean,
I recently asked the same question at www.expert-exchange.com and the 
answer I received is that the board is supported.
have a look at the product brief for the mother board   
http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/g965/prod_brief.pdf   it says the 
the I/O controller hub is an ICH8
and the FreeBSD 6.2 release notes for the ata(4) driver 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=atasektion=4manpath=FreeBSD+6.2-RELEASE 



I am still learning myself how to understand the release notes.
Ivan
