My Current Config:
    P90 with dual port ide
        1. Hard drive (master) on port 0 (Drive c:)
        2. Cdrom (slave) on port 0         (Drive d:)
        3. Hard drive (master) on port 1

Note: Desire that #3 Hard drive (814megbyte) be dedicated to free bsd

Problem:
    When attempting to load "the works" on #3 harddrive (wd2), the 
install proceeds (looking at the debug output on the screen ) until
I see the output /stand/ls. The transfer immediately stops/locks up.
System then requires a CtlAltDel to restart.

Solution:
    The install appears to go to completion if I change my config to the
following:

        1. Hard drive (master) on port 0 (Drive c:)
        2. Cdrom (slave) on port 1         (Drive d:)
        3. Hard drive (master) on port 1

  
Apparently, the Cdrom needs to be on the same ide port that the
kernel is being loaded on ?
 
Oh, by the way, I'm not putting this on drive c due to space.

But now, when I reboot the system, I don't get the option to boot
freebsd. I selected that the boot manager be loaded, apparently on 
wd2 but now when I boot via cdrom or floppy, it no longer recognizes
that wd2 exists.   How can I manually/automatically boot the system
on wd2 ? ? 

Thanks,
Larry
