I created a bug report and nothing was entered,so I thought I would ask the group again if anyone has seen this?? Brand new drives...brand new full install: Using 5.3 release is when I 1st noticed this. CVSup to 5.3-STABLE does not fix this trouble. If both IDE channels are enabled and they are all set to AUTO/AUTO for master/slave and there is no drive (yet) installed to IDE channel2, the machine hangs at boot. If I install a drive to IDE channel2, the machine boots. If I disable IDE channel2, the machine will boot as well. When it hangs, all I see on the console is: FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader boot: ..if I hit <return> at this point, the beastie menu comes up. The machine will NOT boot on it's own. -- J.D. Bronson Aurora Health Care // Information Services // Milwaukee, WI USA Office: 414.978.8282 // Email: jd@aurora.org // Pager: 414.314.8282
