Hi

I decided to fresh-install a machine that's currently running 3.4.

I'm having the following problem though:

I can boot, and it loads both disks with kern and mfsroot images (but
doesn't pick up my hard drive (3 gig IDE Quantum fireball)). It loads
sysinstall, and if I press ALT F2, I see:

ad0 - READ command timeout
ata0 - resetting devices - done

The read timeout I take it is the kernel not being able to read my hard
disk. There's only 1 drive in the machine, no cdrom or anything else
installed.

Why would it be that it's not seing it? The drive and controller are
working perfectly, as it's got a working installation of bsd on it atm.

I checked release notes and couldn't find any mention of problems with
this drive. Are there known problems with the controllers under 4.0?

Any ideas?

Regards

--Rob
