It ran win98 without problems :) It has adaptec aic7850 ahc with Quantum XP34300 81HB, Phoenix BIOS When I boot from floppy and specify da(0,a)/boot/loader everything goes OK I have installed freebsd tens of times on even bigger harddisks than this 3GIG quantum... and yes it has dedicated freebsd partition. What generates this "Read error" systembios/controllerbios/bootblock ? What should I do ? TIA _____________ Lauri Laupmaa ...speaking for myself only...
