I have re-installed FBSD and got a mostly clean boot.  I have been exploring
the system and trying some minor experiments as I am new to FBSD .

Can anyone help with a couple of problems:

1.    I have two hard drives on my computer: DOS C: drive has Win 98 and the
second drive has a DOS partition, from where I installed FBSD and the rest
is FBSD.  When I boot the FBSD I get this message:

ad1: WRITE  command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting.
ata0: resetting devices .. ata0-master: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66
compliant cable.
done

It is repeated 4 times then the boot continues.  I have not got my DOS C:
drive accessible to FBSD because I nearly lost it during a previous install.
Is this an important error?


2.    I tried writing the "Hello World" program in C.  It compiled and I got
a.out whose permissions were set to executable.  When I tried to execute I
got the "command not found" error but when I logged out and then in again
a.out would execute.  Can I make new files execute without having to log out
and in again?

Thanks

Stuart
