I'm trying to install FreeBSD from the Walnut Creek CD-Rom but I haven't 
had any success.  I have a 75MHz Pentium with two IDE controllers. The 
first IDE controller has two 1 Gb hard drives connected to it. The second 
controller has an IDE CD-Rom.  
	During the probing stage, it seems to recognize the two hard drives on
the first controller and also the CD-ROM but somehow it is looking for a 
third hard drive which doesn't exist and it just hangs there.  Here are 
some messages that I get:

	...
	wd2	size unknown, using BIOS value
	wdc1	unit 1 (atapi):  NEC CD-ROM DRIVE: 272/4.15
	wcd0	689Kb/sec, 256 Kb cache, ...
	wcd0	medium type unknown, unlocked
	...

	(after some more messages the screen goes blank but I can read some
	 debugging messages by pressing PrintScreen)

	DEBUG:  IOCTL (3, TIOCCONS, NULL) = 0 (success)
	wd2:  	can't handle 64 heads from partition table (truncating to 16)
	wd2	wdunwedge failed
	wd2 	status 70 <rdy, wrtflt, seekdone> error ff <badblk, uncorr, id_crc,
		no_id, abort, tr000, no-dam>

	...
	(The same messages keep repeating periodically...)


	Is there a fix for this?  


thanks,


Luis
