I just installed FreeBSD on a machine and I can't seem to get X running.
I've got 3.2 of X11R6 and FreeBSD Gamma 2.2 which I installed via FTP
server. The machine is a homemade 486DX2/66 with a WD Caviar 534mb Drive
on a DTC 2278-E controller. It has only 8mb of RAM (which I will upgrade
if and when I can get X running) and a serial mouse on /dev/cuaa0 as well
as a Linksys Ether 16 LAN card. There is a soundblaster 16 with a Creative
Labs CD drive attached. The motherboard has an AMI WinBIOS that has setup
parameters for the hard drive (Including 32-bit disk access, block, and
LBA mode with enable/disable for all three)  but has no integral IDE (or
floppy) ports of it's own... hence the DTC card. 

When I try to run XF86Setup I get:

wd0s1f: hard error reading fsbn 285803 of 285776-285839 (wd0s1 bn 519275;
cn 257 tn 18 sn 29)wd0: status 59<rdy,seekdone,drq,err> error 40<uncorr>
spec_getpages: I/O read error
vm_fault: pager input (probably hardware) error, PID 175 failure
pid 163 (xf86config), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)

wd0s1f: hard error reading fsbn 285803 of 285776-285839 (wd0s1 bn 519275;
cn 257 tn 18 sn 29)wd0: status 59<rdy,seekdone,drq,err> error 40<uncorr>
spec_getpages: I/O read error vm_fault: pager input (probably hardware)
error, PID 167 failure pid 167 (XF86Setup), uid 0: exited on signal 11
(core dumped) 

I included two instances as I noted redundancy in the errors and
thought this might help.

xf86config gives me much less verbocity (word?) when biting the big one:

segmentation fault
core dumped
