=09This is a request for help made after extensive efforts to install fre=
ebsd on =20
my computer, and only after having tried almost everything, i was wonderi=
ng=20
if you have any suggestions.
=09Firstly, may I say what my system is., below:

maxtor 6Y120LO hardrive
sis 5513 chipset
sis 5513 ide controller
hda maxtor 6y120l0 ata disk drive
bus pci
sis648  ATA  133 controller
 I also get the message in the boot messages, (not 100% native, will prob=
e=20
later) if this is of any moment
=09May I say I am using Suse linux as my main operating system and hope t=
o multi=20
boot from a choice of systems, so far I have had no problem, Debian insta=
lled=20
superbly as well.
=09I have Windows xp on the first partition, the unices behind it, (I am =
no fan=20
of wondows! )
=09I don't know if any of this will help solve the problem, I have experi=
mented=20

e=20
disk controller I am using is compatable with freebsd.
=09Any help with this would be greatley appreciated.
