This is the message that I got : "Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/ad0s1a! Command returned status 36". I tried to change in BIOS from UDMA to PIO-0 PIO-4 EDMA but without luck. Can anybody tell me what can I do to install FreeBSD on this machine ? Sorin Chiorean Network Specialist Computer Partners
