I just got Walnut Creek's FreeBSD CD-ROM and tried to install it on my
system:

- 486, ISA, 8MB
- BusLogic BT-545S controller
- Fujitsu M2623 hard disk
- Toshiba XM-3401 CD-ROM drive

The floppy boots fine but finally it hangs displaying:

  ...
  aha0: aha_cmd, cmd/data port empty 3
  aha0: above cmd/data port empty do to Buslogic 545
  aha0: reading board settings, dma=5 int=11
  aha0 at 0x330 irq 11 drq 5 on isa
  aha0: cmd fail
  aha0: abort failed in wait
  aha0: MBO not free

I'm new to FreeBSD and these newsgroups and hope that this is only a
trivial problem because the hardware is supported (isn't it?). But at
least I couldn't find any hints in the FAQ.

Any ideas?
