I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.0 on a PC with a 250 MB WD IDE HD and a
730 MB SCSI IBM HD.  My SCSI controller is an Adaptec AHA1510 which has
the AIC-6260 chipset.  After setting up the file system with fdisk and
diskedit and then (P)roceeding, I get this error message(this occurs
when the progress indicator says 'unzipping /stand/sysinstall onto hard
disk'):
	panic: getnewbuf: inconsistent EMPTY queue
	syncing disks.... 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 ... giving up
	rebooting

After this the system reboots, and unfortunately I have not been able to
get any further into the installation process.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Trey
