    Hello, I am having a little trouble with my first install of freebsd. It 
either just stops, and on the alt-f2 console says bad checksum or now it has 
decided to say: acd0:Read_Big ILLEGAL REGUEST asc asaq=00 error=04. I was 
wondering if it may be due to the fact that i am using an old Packard/Hell 
mainboard as a base for the system. I am trying to install to a Maxtor 4.3gb, 
but the 1994 pheonix bios can and does report proper geometries in (auto), 
but may not support it. Any and all help would be appreciated.

thanks in advance,
