Background: FreeBSD 4.6 or 4.6.2 Primary IDE drive: ad0: 19092MB [38791/16/63] at ata0-master BIOSDMA Secondary IDE drive: Seemingly any Western Digital drive (tried Several) Upon install I get the following: ad1: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting ata0: resetting devices On the odd chance that it would make a difference, I did the: hw.ata.ata_dma="1" hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" But it did not help. Now, if I put a Maxtor drive on as ad1, no problem boot and installs from the CD or floppy without issue. If I put the second WD drive on the second controller as the master, no problem either. Any Idea how I can resolve this?
