I have problems when installing FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE.
My computer=A1=AFs hardware is shown below:=20
  CPU:       Celeron 400MHz=20
  Chipset:   VIA VT82C691 + VT82C586B=20
  BIOS:      Award (1998)=20
  Hard Disk: Maxtor 4D040H2 (40GB IDE)=20
  Memory:    2*128MB SDRAM=20

At first, the BIOS couldn't recognize the new Maxtor Disk. I upgraded it
to 2001,=20
and it worked. I planned to partition the disk as follow:=20
  Primary Partition 1: 7.2GB, FAT32, (ad0s1), Windows XP Pro=20
  Primary Partition 2: 4.0GB, UFS, ad0s3, FreeBSD
                       ad0s3a, 3840MB, mount as /
                       ad0s3b, 256MB,  swap
  Extended Partition: (ad0s2), Logical Disk 1 and 2: NTFS, Windows XP
Pro

I setup Windows XP first, and install System Commander 7.04 as the boot
manager.=20
During the installation of FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE, when the system is
making the=20
/dev/ad0s3a, I see warning messages from virtual terminal 2:=20
  Warning: Block size and bytes per inode restrict cylinders per group
to 89.=20
  Warning: inode blocks/cyl group (171) >=3D data blocks (64) in last
cylinder=20
  group. This implies 2048 sector(s) can=A1=AFt be allocated.=20
  ...=20

During the format process, I see following messages showing frequently:=20
  ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=3D0 serv=3D0 - resetting=20
  ata0: resetting devices ... done=20

After file system was made, the above messages still show intermittently
during
the file copy process. Finally, system shows something like this and
reboot:=20
  Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode=20
  fault virtual address   =3D       ...=20
  fault code / supervisor write, page not present=20
  instruction pointer =3D ...=20
  stack pointer =3D         ...=20
  frame pointer =3D         ...=20
  code segment =3D          ...=20
               =3D          ...=20
  processor eflags =3D     ...=20
  current process =3D      ...=20
  interrupt mask =3D       ...=20
  trap number =3D           12=20
  panic: page fault=20

Or something like this:=20
  panic: syncing disk ...=20

After several times of defeat, I try to install FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE
instead, which uses=20
wd driver for hard disks. Except the following warning message, nothing
went wrong
-- the installation has been completely successful:=20
  Warning: the last 2048 sector(s) can=A1=AFt be allocated.=20

What=A1=AFs the problem with FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE?=20
