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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
