[BUGS] freebsd installation with SATA drivers

[goku -]

Yes your right Edwin, but this is the problem.  I installed FreeBSD 7.0
without any problem.  It recognized the SATA hard drive.  But after 2 days
the whole system crapped out. It would just reboot and says that it is
looking for the boot record. So I thought it was the drive at first so I
bought another drive, then the same thing happened.  So I changed memory.
Again the problem came back.  So I took it to my friend's computer shop. I
showed him the message and he told me that I would need to install the SATA
drivers for FreeBSD. I got the motherboard driver on a CD and looked at it.
It has drivers for SUSE, REDHAT.  I know that FreeBSD support linux
drivers.  My question is that when installing FreeBSD is there a option in
the menu to install 3rd party drivers?  Just like installing Windows there
you hit the F6 to install 3rd party drivers.

thanks
