So, I replaced the disk drive (40 GB Western Digital) that came with the Sun Blade 150 with a brand new 40 GB Western Digital drive and got the same thing. After more searching I saw someone's post about setting hw.ata.atapi_dma=0 at boot time. Then I did get a bit farther. After going through the entire install procedure as soon as it attempted to write to the new drive (to fsck the root partition) I started to see this: ad0: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA timed out ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=1 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA timed out ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=0 then a screen popped up: Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/ad0a! Command returned status 36 [ OK ] [ Press enter or space ] I also read somewhere about setting the boot EEPROM back to factory defaults using the "set-defaults" command -- which I did and which did not seem to help. One thing I thought strange was the lack of the disk drive setup choice when I select Custom installation. I have: "2 Options, 3 Label, 4 etc..." but "1 Partition" is missing. What is going on here and how do I work around this problem? Regards, web... -- William Bulley Email: web@umich.edu
