Re: [Trinux-talk] Newbie Question: Hard Drive Woes

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

You will need IDE kernel module support.

# getpkg 2.4.5/ide.tgz
# getpkg 2.4.5/fsmods.tgz

After installing the package you should see your hard drives show up if
you do a:

# dmesg

cd /lib/modules for the filesystems you need.
