I'm using the same chipset then (amd/via combo), and 128MB PC2100 CAS2.5 DDR....I'm almost certain this is something to do with the VIA 686B chip, or it's IDE controller, and an incompatibility with the ATA driver. I am also using an IBM hard drive, but it's a much older ATA33 6.5GB deskstar model (DHEA-36....er...something). I wish I had a big enough net connection to make downloading and trying a couple of other versions of freeBSD less than a 45 hour task :-( Gonna give the old install floppies a go now though, with the 4.1-release install CD and the 3.5.1-release install floppies. It probably won't work, but hey. I may also submit an official problem report, as no-one seems to know how to fix this one, so I suppose it could be down to a bug somewhere.
