Hmm, I find it *very* difficult to belive that you are intalling 4.3 BSD on a PC, since 4.3 NEVER ran (publically anyway) on a x86 machine. Now, you may be running FreeBSD, NetBSD, or 386BSD on your box, but that's another story. >I would think that this drive would be supported >since it's popular (i.e. cheap and fast) but no luck.

First of all, tell us what OS your installing and we'll all be in the know.
