I keep getting errors to the effect of that it's not able to write to the HD or something. I have the drive geometry set the same as it is in the BIOS, and have LBA shut off. I had FreeBSD installed on the system perfectly with LBA on, but once the install was done and it went to reboot, the drives refused to initialize during the BIOS check.. Shut LBA off and they're working again, but I'm running into this problem now.. Anyone have a clue?
