I need to force freebsd v 4.0 to use the PIO mode instead of the UDMA 33 mode for accessing a hard disk. Is anyone aware of what flags this requires in the visual configuration section of the CD boot? My bios will not allow me to disable the DMA mode on the hardware. The install is failing in writing to the drive during the install.=20 It's a maxtor 8 gig drive as master on the secodary IDE channel. There is no other device on this channel. Any tips greatly appreciated. regards, Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
