 All additional attempts to install 4.6 fail:
 
 1) Deleted everything from UserConfig except:
 
    Storage :
      ATA/ATAPI compatible disk controller       ata0     14 0x1f0
      ATA/ATAPI compatible disk controller       ata1     15 0x170
      Floppy disk controller                     fdc0     6  0x3f0
    Network : (empty)
    Communications :
      Parallel Port chipset                      ppc0     7
      8250/16450/16550 Serial port               sio0     4  0x3f8
      8250/16450/16550 Serial port               sio1     3  0x2f8
    Input :
      Keyboard                                   atkbd0   1
      PS/2 Mouse                                 psm0     12
      Syscons console driver                     sc0
    Multimedia : (empty)
    Miscellaneous :
      PC-card controller                         pcic0       0x3e0
      Math coprocessor                           npx0     13 0xf0
 
 2) Followed the 4.6 errata sheet regarding a known problem with CDROM device
 that affected installation.
 
    set hw.ata.ata_dma="1"
    set hw.ata.atapi_dma="1"
    boot
 
 3) Booted from the floppy installation disk. However, could not remove the
 CD-ROM device as I'm not aware of a Virtual PC feature to allow this.
 
 Tried each of these individually and in combination. Installation always
 fails. The last thing "boot -v" always shows is:
 
 DEBUG: deviceTry: Making raw device for /dev/acd0c [117, 0]
 
 Anyone with advice on how to troubleshoot this problem further so early in
 the boot process, please let me know and I'll get on it.
