However FreeBSD insisted on trying to use it. This causes time-outs and eventually an attempt to revert to PIO mode, this causes the box to hang needing hard reboot. So my question is what is the most painless way to get FreeBSD on to this drive? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
