>Description:
The PC is a Pentium 4 ASRock P4S61 origionally with a UDMA Mode 6 hard drive. I spent several days attempting to install FreeBSD 5.2.1 on to it. The prelimary script would run well, but it would slow to a stop
when the binary images were being loaded (it showed the transfer rate of
0.0 KBytes/sec when the loading of proflibs completely stopped.) I replaced the hard drive with an older hard drive (non-UDMA Mode 6) and the system appears to be working well. But the UDMA Mode 6 hard drive
is useless. The machines BIOS is an AMI one and the problem hard is
an HITACHI DeskStore 80 GB hard drive. I consider this to be an important issue especially if some one encounters it without a non-UDMA Mode 6 har drive to use as a replacement. I have tried this several times with the same dismal results. I apologize for the earlier corrupted bug submission
>How-To-Repeat:
Use the UDMA Mode 6 hard drive
>Fix:
Use a different hard drive than a UDMA Mode 6
