Here's one for you techies out there:

I have a 500 Mhz Pentium III.  I have 128 mb Ram, and a Maxtor 17gb ultra
IDE drive, and a Promise Ultra 66, ATA/66 PCI controller.  I have Windoze
98 as the primary OS, and wish to install FreeBSD as my sec. OS.  I
partitioned my HD into two partitions:  8gb for Win and the remaining for
Unix.  When I boot the Kernel, and it probes for my devices.  It does not
find WD0 - my Hard Drive.  At the end of the probe, is lists the error
something like this "isa_probe_'something'" and does not allow me to
proceed through the installation any furthere.  It says that it could not
locate my Hard Drive.

I think it has to be some sort of conflict.  I also have a DVD-ROM drive
and a CD-RW drive.  I hope this is enough detail for you.  Let me know if
you can think of anything.

Devon
