I was unable to get FreeBSD installed on that drive no matter what I did... I put another IDE drive in the Sun V100 and FreeBSD installed with no problems. I took the 80 gig drive that shipped with the V100 and put it in an i386 machine, installed FreeBSD on it with no problem. The errors I received during install were write_dma errors, I beleive that has been issues with the ATA driver and that particular machine. Like Is aid, I have had no issues with FreeBSD, a new IDE drive, and the Sun V100. Let me know what you find out!
