Do you have a /dev/ad6?

I have now sifted the connected to the SATA2 connector on the motherboard -- 
but it is still not recognized.. see comments below made in the posting I have

My feeling is that you either have a bad cable or the sata controller
is having problems, but it could also be the HDD (it *is* plugged in,
right?)

Here are some things you can try:
- replace the cable. Yes, cables go bad frequently and for no obvious
reason. So do connectors, but less frequently.
- That mobo probably has four SATA ports, try the drive on different ports.
- take out your Seagate drive and put the WD on that SATA port. (Use a
live cd like FreeSBIE to boot and test the drive configuation.)
- try the Seagate as ad6 and the WD as ad4

This is all basic troubleshooting. By changing one piece of the
configuation at a time you should be able to identify the problem.

SOLVED..

It turns out that the connections tio the drives have to be connected in the 
preferential order by which the drives are listed in the cmos AND that includes 
correct choice for each sata bus. get any of them in the wrong sequence and 
freebsd does not recognize the drive as being present.

Thanks for your input.. it really helped me to stick at it!!

 Hi
 
 While preparing to move a system from i386 to amd 
 architecture The existing system is dual booting i386 for 5.4 
 stable and 6.0. My plan is to remove both systems, preserve 
 my data and reinstall 6.1 amd from cd.
 
 The motherboard is a FA-K8N51GMF-9 with 3 hard drives 
 installed. 2xSata and 1xIDE.
 
 Freebsd 5.4 
 #df sees

 The CD installer select drives interface for 6.1 RELEASE 
 amd64 recognizes
 ad0 and
 ad4 
 but not ad6.
 
 For installing 6.1 amd I will need the installer to see all 
 physical devices and existing partitions. 
 
 The Bios CMOS features show

 IDE Channel 0 Slave Lite-on CD-RW

 IDE Channel 3 Master WDC WD2000JD
 The Advanced Bios features show
 First boot device CDROM
 Second Boot Device Hard Disk
 Third boot Device Hard Disk
 
 The Hard disk boot priority sequence options show:
 Ch0
 Ch2
 Ch3 
 root
 shutdown -r
 
 /var/log/messages shows

 How do I get the installer select drives interface to recognize ad6?
 
 Thanks in advance

Following my previous posting I have now successfully built amd64 on /dev/ad0 
but not yet mounted ad4 or ad6. While ad4 is seen according to 
/var/log/messages the new build does not see ad6 .. does anyone have any 
ideas how to fix this?
