I found the problem, and I think it might be hardware related.
In order for the OS to install properly, I replaced the 80 wire cable with a 40 wire cable. Once the install was completed, I replaced the 80 wire cable and all is well.
If anyone would like more information, please let me know.

Today, I have tried to install FBSD 4.10 on a Gateway 920 Server (Celeron 2.4 GHz, 128 MB RAM, 60 GB Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 HDD, two Intel Pro 10/100/1000 NICs). In order to make the server work correctly, I have to boot with hw.hasbrokenint12=1.
After setting up the drive (fdisk and disklabel), the install begins just as it should. Shortly after creating the Emergency Holographic Shell, when the installation process starts to copy files, I receive a message stating, "panic: ufs_dirbad bad dir syncing disks ......." I have tried mutiple CDs downloaded from multiple sources with the same results. When this happens I am unable to use the shell created on VTY 4.
I am able to install FreeBSD 4.8 without any problems on this system.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Jay
