Ron,

Can you give me a bit more detail about this error? First of all, what
type of hardware do you have. IDE / SCSI / SATA? More than one drive?
Also try this:

Download the latest snapshot:
http://dev.pcbsd.org

Then boot to the GUI installer, and right click on the desktop to bring
up xterm. Next run this command:

/usr/local/pcbsd/scripts/PCBSD.FindDisk.sh

Does it echo out any drive or drives found?
