I haven't been able to determine what the following error messages mean, or how to fix them... I've searched all of the list archives and Deja... bios32: Bad BIOS32 Service Directory I have no idea what this one means... My understanding was that the BIOS wasn't needed this late in the boot process... ad0: 4112MB <SAMSUNG SV0432D> [8912/15/63] at ata0-master WDMA2 (null): MODE_SENSE_BIG - UNIT ATTENTION asc=29 ascq=00 error=04 ad0 doesn't really run at WDMA2... I had to bump it down to PIO (hopefully 4?) using sysctl because I have a flaky controller (ViperM)... I also had to make a small / partition to get loader to work... Without the small / partition the system would boot, but top would not work and there was a loader error message during (I think) stage 1 of the boot process... I'm guessing the 1024 cylinder limit was at play there... The system runs fine even with these 2 errors... Uptime is limited only by my local power company's ability to keep juice flowing... If anyone has a clue where I should look for answers I would appreciate a reply...
