From: Mark Wilding To: Sheldon Hearn Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: i386/10709: wdc0 not found at 0x1f0 Date: Sat, 03 Apr 1999 10:58:30 -0500 Hi Sheldon, This was for a computer I just received and was not familiar with it yet. The problem was that the jumper of the western digital drive was set to master and yet there was only one drive on the primary ide controller. Taking the jumper off and not setting it to either master or slave solved the problem. For the sake of anyone else who hits this, the symptoms also included a somewhat long hang during the initial start up of the system where it appeared to be searching for a drive. Eventually it found it and Win95/WinNT (which came installed on the system) booted fine. FreeBSD also hung for a long period of time searching for the drive but never found it. It works fine now.
