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 >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
