Message-ID: <20021017013934.Y5784-100000@view.scoundrelz.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi again, I've managed to get FreeBSD installed (twice) on two separate IDE drives. Unfortunately, when I go to boot the IDE drives, I get a Machine Check halt. I'm not sure why I'm having a problem booting from the drive, cause FreeBSD installs to the drive just fine. Both drives are WDs (ugh, I don't like WDs, but it's what I had laying around) of the 3.2G and 6.4G variety. The device (dqa0) shows up along with the CD-ROM drive when I do a "show devices," but there's no device model number or name like the CD-ROM's entry has. I'm going to try moving the hard drive to the secondary channel and using the CD-ROM on the primary channel to see if that makes any difference, but I'm open to other suggestions.
