Thanks for sharing your experience. Can you describe where it broke during the install? Or did it seem to install and only fail on boot?
Same spot as you didn't seem to matter which kernel I used (again I tried it on the WRAP and on a Via motherboard). The kernel will boot but fails when it tries to mount /. It actually works fine when booting from a USB adapter on a regular PC which I found kind of interesting.
I did notice that on the Via motherboard it wouldn't even find the device unless I disabled UDMA on that IDE Port, as a follow up to that I disabled a few different UDMA sounding options as part of the boot option, but none of them got me anywhere. Obviously since the kernel will boot but not mount there's probably some way to get this working, though I'm guessing it might involve some kernel hacking... I guess this is the reason the Hitachi drive is 50% more expensive, probably has a little extra bit of hardware to make it more like an IDE drive which freebsd expects. -- Paul Haddad ([EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
