Oh my...this machine was "re-tasked" yesterday...
I am planning on doing the same thing on my fwl at home...if I have
the same issues then I will definitely get all of this information.
One thing worth mentioning is there was a difficulty with the BIOS
settings on this machine. For some reason it was not setting the
bios settings to LBA...but to CHS by default. It's a 40GB drive, so
I don't see why it would not detect LBA by default...anyhow, when
reinstalling FBSD 5.4 on this box I had similar difficulties with it
as I did with pfsense. I went into the BIOS and set the mode to LBA
manually and my issues went away...not sure if it applies here, but
perhaps this is a faulty/buggy bios...?
I was wondering that, myself.
