I am a newbie to FreeBSD but have read a lot of handbooks. I have also installed different versions on my old computer just to practice (incl 4.8, 4.9, 5.0, 5.1). Now I have bought a new computer and wanted to install 4.9 for real. But during boot up this happened: ad0: REAL command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting ata0: resetting devices... and there it hangs. When I tried 5.1 I had no problem. Could it be a hardware problem?? I hope that somebody can help me with this. Many thanks Nicolas Is this a very stupid question? Nobody answers..... Just give me a clue.....
