I've tried putting fbsd 4.0-R onto it by both network and CD from iso image. It always hangs up creating the blocks or copying that first file over after creating the blocks. I noticed the BIOS was seeing the drive as only 347M when it was a 4.3G IDE drive. The question I have is would I have the same problems if I put an Adaptec 2940UW card with a 2.1 SCSI2 drive in there instead of IDE?
