Tim,
I had a similar problem. I had a SCSI Hard Drive and an IDE Tape Drive in
the machine. I had to disconnect the IDE tape drive, before the SCSI hard
drive would work. After installation I reattached the Tape Drive and all
was well.
I hope this helps.
Joe

Subject: FreeBSD 4.6 Installation Lockup
I'm attempting to install FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE on several i386 systems
(clones) that have dual SCSI and no IDE disks. These systems are currently
running an
older version of FreeBSD.
The installation of 4.6-RELEASE locks shortly after a message regarding
ppc0 (something to the effect of ppc0: Parallel port not found), when I
think it is looking for disk controllers or disk drives.
I've tried booting from floppy (to use a network install), and from both
SCSI and IDE CD-ROM. I've tried the ATA workaround on the odd chance that
was the problem, but still no luck.
Has anyone experienced this kind of problem before? Any ideas on how to
either fix it or get more information on what is going wrong (and what it's
trying to do just before lockup)?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards, -ts.
