I'm having problems installing FreeBSD 4.8. After the Kernel configuration page, the system hangs with these messages: ad0: [the-name-of-my-hd] at ata0 -master BIOSDMA ad1: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 -resetting ata0: resetting devices And that's it. The machine just sits there like a dog that's been shown a card trick. I have succesfully installed FreeBSD by disconnecting the master and setting the slave as master, but I would like to use them both. Any Bios settings that would help? Regards Arild Ringøy
