The error message says that ACPI no autoload failed -- no such file or directory (2) ata is still forced to configure even though the BIOS has disabled IDE controllers. It is important to allow to disable IDE (ata0/1) to free more IRQ when SCSI disk is used, because current the PC motherboard has limited IRQs. If 5.0 will disbale interactive configuration mode, this becomes more important to read BIOS configuration info for auto-configuration. >How-To-Repeat: Try 5.0-DP1 installation floppies. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
