3.1. What kind of hard drives does FreeBSD support?
FreeBSD supports EIDE and SCSI drives (with a compatible
controller; see the next section), and all drives using the
original "Western Digital" interface (MFM, RLL, ESDI, and
of course IDE). A few ESDI controllers that use proprietary
interfaces may not work: stick to WD1002/3/6/7 interfaces
and clones.
