I am trying to load 5.3-RELEASE from an ISO CD-ROM burned from ftp.freebsd.org
onto a Sun Blade 150 (UltraSparc-IIe class CPU) and having all kinds of problems:

At this point I searched the mailing lists for help and someone suggested to replace
the disk drive. 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...
