I have just installed FreeBSD 4.10 after having for a long time FreeBSD 4.9. I modified 4.9 kernel to suppord nVidia nForce2 ATA controller but I found that in FreeBSD 4.10 nForce2 & nForce3 ATA controllers are supported (so this must be true for FreeBSD 4.11, right?). In act I also installed recently FreeBSD 4.11 and it supports nVidia nForce2 & nForce 3 ATA controllers. In the hardware list only nVidia nForce ATA 100 controller is mentioned. So nVidia nForce2 &nForce3 ATA controllers should be added in the supported hardware list for FreeBSD 4.11 and possibly 5.x. Please excuse me if I bothered you with this bug report, but I believe that is important that all potential FreeBSD users should know the capabilities of this great operating system. This way FreeBSD will have more and more users. Respectfully, Gabriel George POPA
