Ok first a little background. MCCI SuperEISA 486DX50 BusLogic 747S FAST SCSI-II Maxtor MXT1240S 1.18G HD Wangtek 5525ES QIC Currently running dos 6.0 OS I am attempting to install FreeBSD-1.0 EPSILON Now the question I have tried every combination of settings I can think of and nothing works. No matter what the install program says: sd0d: Time out sd0d: attempting to abort sd0d: command aborted This happens in all phases including the disklabel. If I exit to the shell and attempt to do any of this by hand it insists device not configured. Now all these devices show up fine on boot (the maxtor has a wierd label insisting on non-sensical parameters) but it warns me the drive is not labeled (no duh you won't do it for me). So is this a problem with the 50MHz clock? Is there a nop loop expiring to soon or am I just SOL. Thanks -Chris BTW geometry trans is comming from the card but everybody but FreeBSD seems happy with it. Anyway if geometry is the problem it would at least be able to trash the drive- as it is it can't even access it.
