Even in safe mode, with DMA disabled and the drive running in PIO mode it still locks up on probing devices. I may just dig out a 4.2 ISO and give it a whirl. The "bright" side is that I discovered forcedeth, a clean write of a network driver for the NForce chipsets. It's only for Linux, but that at least means that it's possible for FreeBSD :) -- Rob | Oh my God! They killed init! You bastards!
