	Hello,

	I have an AST 910N laptop (16RAM/500HD w/64MB swap) I have
installed FreeBSD-2.2.2 on and added latest PAO patches from 
www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO.
	But it seems to me that my IDE HD has some problems:

wd0a: soft error writing fsbn 285550 of 285440-285567 (wd0 bn 416622; cn 413 tn 5 sn 3)w d0: status 50<rdy,seekdone> error 10<no_id>

wd0: interrupt timeout:
wd0: status 58<rdy,seekdone,drq> error 0
...

	I only get errors like that when I ftp something to the machine 
over the ethernet. If I switch over to another tty and try to remove large
file or a lot of files at one time, system crashes and reboots. Anyone had
a problem like that before and know what can be done to fix it? I looked
through the archives and noticed a lot of people with the same error.
But could not find the solution and it seems like my machine is the
only one that reboots. Yes, I tried messing around with apm and
different BIOS settings. If there is no fix for it I will have to avoid 
ethernet FTPs and stick with 28.8 :(. Any help would be great. Thanks,
